Knife stabbing in Bremen: Two men in custody for manslaughter!
On Monday morning, July 17, 2025, there was a bloody clash in the Walle district of Bremen that seriously injured three people. According to the NDR report, the incident occurred in an apartment building where the injured - a 25-year-old, a 44-year-old and another man - had to fight with knife wounds. The situation is particularly tragic that the third man is in critical condition. Police have arrested two suspects, aged 38 and 22, and applied for arrest warrants on suspicion of attempted murder.
The investigation focuses on possible backgrounds in the red light district that led to the escalation of the conflict. This shocking act brings crime in Bremen back into the spotlight and raises questions about safety in the city. Crime in Germany is a recurring issue that not only concerns local residents, but also poses major challenges for the judiciary.

Crime statistics and trends
To better understand the situation, let's take a look at current crime statistics. Data from Statista shows that crime in Germany fell by 1.7% in 2024, reflecting a decrease in cannabis crimes due to partial legalization since April 1, 2024. However, many citizens feel unsafe as crimes that undermine a sense of security continue to increase. In 2024, there were around 285 murder victims across Germany, which demonstrates the seriousness of crimes against life.
What these numbers tell us is clear: Even though overall crime is falling, there are certain areas that remain high, such as theft and violent crime. Statistics also show that crime tends to be higher in urban areas such as Bremen, which means that the likelihood of becoming a victim of crime is greater here. However, the clearance rate, which was around 58% in 2024, gives us a ray of hope and shows that the judiciary is actively working to combat these crimes.
The events in Bremen and Oldenburg remind us that behind every statistic there are human fates. The impressions of the street and the development of structures that can promote violence and crime are an issue that affects us all. It remains to be hoped that the judiciary can fulfill its tasks to ensure security in our cities.
