Number of knives seized in Berlin's dishes shocked!

Special developments in various dishes

The Moabit justice campus was discovered 1,430 cutting and stab wafe, which corresponds to a decline compared to 2023 (2,154 knives). However, the Situation at the Neukölln District Court is much more alarming, where 1,152 knives were ensured - more than three times as many as in the previous year (314). The Charlottenburg District Court also recorded a doubling compared to 322 in 2023, and 131 knives were found at other institutions such as the district court of Köpenick (2023: 57). Firearms were also discovered - at the Moabit justice campus in three cases and at the district court of Neukölln in 33 other incidents. This represents a clear increase in threats, as the judicial administration states that speaks of a worrying increase in conflict situations among visitors.

growing threats

The judicial administration reports of a "recognizable increase in threats and critical situations", which are caused by aggressive behavior by visitors. However, these acts of violence are still rare, even if verbal clashes have become commonplace and - often unmistakably - increase. Since the implementation of constant input controls in the Berlin courts in 2018, security measures such as turnstile and floating systems for luggage control have been in force, which, however, appear more and more in view of the current development.
