Law enforcement seeking testimonies from bystanders or those with information
In the heart of Dresden, the State Protection Department is currently investigating an attack that appears to have a political motive. The focus of the investigation is on Max Schreiber, a known right-wing extremist from Free Saxony, who has been linked to the incident.
As of early August 2025, there is no publicly available detailed update specifically about ongoing investigations into right-wing extremist attacks on citizens in Dresden's Outer New Town and Louisenstraße. However, the broader context shows that Germany continues to face challenges related to right-wing extremism. Authorities have taken actions such as banning extremist organizations and conducting espionage trials linked to far-right actors in Dresden and elsewhere.
Meanwhile, in recent weeks, there have been repeated reports of right-wing extremist insults and slurs, primarily from cars, targeting queer individuals or those associated with the left-wing scene. Despite these reports being known to the police, no complaints have been filed regarding these incidents.
Last year, Schreiber was convicted by the Dresden District Court for bodily harm and coercion. Despite this conviction, it is unclear whether the current investigation is connected to the previous incidents mentioned in the earlier bullet points or to any planned protests by Schreiber.
For the latest information on these incidents or protests, it is recommended to check recent official announcements by Dresden police or German federal security agencies, as well as local news sources that cover developments after early August 2025. As always, vigilance remains key in addressing the ongoing issue of right-wing extremism in Germany.
- The investigation into a political attack in Dresden, and the potential involvement of Max Schreiber, falls under the category of general-news and crime-and-justice, as it involves a suspected right-wing extremist and is an ongoing matter of public interest.
- In addition to the ongoing investigation, there have been recent instances of right-wing extremist insults and slurs, primarily towards queer individuals and those associated with the left-wing scene, which also fall under the categories of crime-and-justice and general-news, as they highlight the continuing challenges related to right-wing extremism in Germany.
