Bloody strike at Ravensburg train station: man bites off finger!
On October 31, 2025, shortly before midnight, an incident occurred at Ravensburg train station that caused a stir. An argument between two groups, consisting of a total of five men between the ages of 20 and 29, escalated to such an extent that a 29-year-old man bit off the finger of a 20-year-old. Loud All in Those involved went to the Ravensburg train platform in a visibly drunken state, where an initial argument quickly turned into fistfights. The injured man was immediately taken to the local hospital while police investigated all five men.
According to witness reports, the dispute had its origins in loud and provocative statements made by one of the two camps during their train journey from Friedrichshafen to Ravensburg. While such incidents are not uncommon, the brutality of the attack, particularly the loss of a finger, has shocked the city.
Focus on bodily harm
Assault is a serious criminal offense in Germany, which is regulated in Section 223 of the Criminal Code (StGB). The paragraph punishes not only intentional physical abuse, but also impairment of a person's health. In this case, the 29-year-old who bit off the 20-year-old's finger would face serious consequences. The legal framework in Germany allows for punishments of up to five years in prison or fines for bodily harm if damage to health can be proven, such as Law Forum explained.
What is particularly frightening is the fact that incidents like these have increased in recent years. Data from the Federal Criminal Police Office show in a stress analysis that the number of cases of dangerous and serious bodily harm recorded by the police increased significantly between 2014 and 2024. This development raises questions about the increasing willingness to use violence in society and highlights the importance of preventive measures. The full statistics are on Statista to read.
The Ravensburg police are continuing their investigation and are urging caution. It remains to be seen what legal action will be taken against the men involved. The incident shows how quickly an argument can escalate and what dramatic consequences this can have for everyone involved.
