Security alarm in Karlshorst: Residents are calling for more protection for children!

S-Bahnhof Karlshorst, 10315 Berlin, Deutschland - In Lichtenberg, the Karlshorst S-Bahn station ensures increasing concern among residents. Women and children in particular feel impaired by harassment and threats. CDU MP Lilia Usik urges measures after receiving numerous complaints about the uncertain Situation and the "increasing littering" in the area of ​​Hermann-Duncker-Platz. Although the Senate indicates that the security situation is "inconspicuous", police operations recorded an increase in 2024, especially in connection with threats and thefts.

In order to improve security in Karlshorst, Usik demands increased police presence, which is currently not possible due to the tense budget. The Berlin Senate also does not plan any additional measures because the situation is considered stable. A possible solution on the part of the residents comprises the installation of additional lighting in order to make so -called "dark rooms" safer. Usik emphasizes that more light could not only deter potential criminals, but would also strengthen people's feeling of security so that they can come home without fear.
