Police operation in Nersingen: Man threatens neighbors with a weapon!

In Nersingen, a quiet town in the Neu-Ulm district, a worrying incident occurred on June 27, 2025, which resulted in a large-scale police operation. A 49-year-old is said to have threatened his 40-year-old opponent with a firearm during an argument. The specific weapon used in this case was a deceptively real air gun, like this SWP reported.

The police were alerted around 8:30 p.m. after relatives reported a threatening situation in a residential building in Nersingen. Due to the potential danger, nine patrol crews were called together, including teams from the Neu-Ulm police station and the Günzburg traffic police station. The head of operations contacted the 49-year-old by telephone, who a short time later left his house voluntarily and unarmed.

The deployment and its consequences

During the approximately 1.5-hour operation, a rescue service team and an emergency doctor stood by at a safe distance, but were soon able to leave as no one was injured. The 49-year-old was arrested without resistance and taken to the Neu-Ulm police station. However, after consultation with the public prosecutor's office, he was released while an investigation into threats was initiated against him.

In another report by the Swabian It is reported that a similar incident marked events in Nersingen on Tuesday evening. Here a man is said to have threatened his wife with a weapon, which also led to a police operation. In this case, two blank guns and an air rifle were seized and the man was admitted to a specialist clinic. Here too, there were no injuries and the danger was quickly neutralized.

Weapons law backgrounds

The legal basis for the possession of weapons, including items that do not require a license such as air guns, are very strictly regulated in Germany. According to the information from Federal Criminal Police Office Potential gun owners must meet various requirements, including a minimum age of 18, reliability, personal suitability and proof of expertise. These strict criteria are in place to ensure that only responsible people have access to weapons.

The background to the dispute between the 49-year-old and the 40-year-old remains unclear. However, police operations show how seriously such threats are taken and that professional help from security forces should always be relied upon in the event of conflict.
