Germany is seeing another surge in violence against women committed by non-German suspects, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has reported.

Presenting the findings on Thursday, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) said the trend “has been solidifying for years.” The BKA registered almost 266,000 victims of domestic violence last year, including more than 187,000 women and girls. That represents a 3.8% rise on the previous year and a 17.8% increase compared with 2022.

Non-German suspects were again “clearly overrepresented,” Dobrindt said, noting that 37% of those accused of partner violence did not hold German citizenship. Victims show a similar pattern: around one third of all victims were non-German nationals, far above their share of the population.

Family Minister Karin Prien (CDU) warned that the true scale of abuse is likely far higher. “We assume that one in four women will experience intimate partner violence in her lifetime,” she said, pointing to a major underreporting problem.

The government has pledged new measures, including electronic ankle bracelets for violent offenders, signalling devices for vulnerable victims, a ban on knock-out drops, and expanded capacity in women’s shelters. But Dobrindt acknowledged the response remains insufficient. “Politicians are not yet doing enough to protect women,” he said.
