Right -wing extremism in Brandenburg: Alarming record numbers 2025!

Brandenburg, Deutschland - The number of right -wing extremists in Brandenburg has reached a new high, according to the current constitutional protection report. 3,650 people were recorded, which corresponds to an increase of almost a fifth compared to the previous year. This emerges from the reports of the Brandenburg Constitutional Protection, which were published on July 9, 2025. Four of these right -wing extremist people are classified as violent, which is an increase of a tenth. Interior Minister René Wilke emphasizes the enormous challenges that emerge from extremist actors in Brandenburg.

Wilke emphasizes that the greatest danger to the free-democratic basic order is based on right-wing extremism. The total number of extremist persons in Brandenburg is 5,505, an increase of 570 compared to 2023. This shows that the threat situation has noticeably tightened in recent years. It is particularly alarming that 40 percent of right-wing extremists are considered "violent". Class = "Source_2"> Maz-Online

right -wing extremist personal potential and AfD

The personal potential of right -wing extremist parties in Brandenburg, which is 1,600, is also noteworthy. The AfD in particular should be emphasized here, since it was classified as secured right -wing extremist, but is initially on hold due to an openly running procedure. This shows how the challenge due to right -wing extremist efforts also accepts political dimensions.

In the area of ​​left -wing extremism, the number of people remains unchanged at 550, while the number of violence -oriented autonomists remains at stable 200. The protection of the constitution also registered 225 Islamists, which corresponds to an increase in five people compared to the previous year. Interior Minister Wilke emphasizes that radicalization is particularly advanced through social media.

right -wing extremist activities

Another trouble trend are the increased violence -oriented crimes. In 2024, a total of 37,835 right -wing extremist crimes were recorded, an increase of 47.4 percent compared to 2023. In particular, the physical injury offenses with xenophobic background rose by 4.8 percent to a total of 916 cases.

Although the number of right -wing extremist music events in 2024 dropped to zero after they were stopped 322 in 2023, the threat of right -wing extremist demonstrations remains. Also in 2024 360 such meetings took place that increasingly dealt with topics such as asylum, migration and queer hostility.

Overall, the report shows one of the greatest challenges with which Brandenburg and the German security authorities are faced with. The radicalization and the associated extremist activities require increased measures and attention from the public and politics.
