Party Raided: Victim of Gruesome Attack in Loffenau Reveals Persistent Anxiety and Physical Scars
On Friday, September 19, 2025, the trial for attempted manslaughter and serious bodily harm will continue in Courtroom 118 of the Regional Court of Baden-Baden. The courtroom is filled with tension as the 26-year-old witness, who was severely injured in the attack, enters the room.
The attack took place on August 30, 2020, at the Loffenauer Kappele during the witness's birthday party. Six masked men, armed with a pickaxe, a switchblade, and a starter pistol, stormed the party. One of the attackers stabbed the witness with a knife, causing life-threatening injuries. The witness's brother was also present during the attack.
The witness suffered persistent pain, particularly in the abdominal and shoulder areas, and narrowly avoided vital organ damage. The wounds from the attack have healed but left scars. The witness's motivation for work was severely affected, and they had to miss important overtime pay for about three months due to the attack and the subsequent recovery period. The financial loss incurred by the witness was over 4,500 euros, mainly from regular sick leave and missed shift allowances.
The witness's family provided significant support during this difficult time. The witness also underwent numerous family therapy sessions to cope with the psychological impact of the attack. The witness struggled with severe anxiety states after the attack, barely daring to leave the house in the evenings.
The attack is believed to have been a form of retribution for earlier incidents at the party, including beatings and phone destruction. One of the victims, a 25-year-old, described an attacker waving a dark pistol around the room.
In the trial taking place on September 17, 2020, the defendants mostly sat with their heads bowed during the proceedings. However, the name of the accused in the 2020 attempted murder and severe bodily injury case in Baden-Baden is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results. A known case involved a 26-year-old man sentenced to nine and a half years in Stuttgart for a similar crime linked to attempted manslaughter and dangerous bodily injury. No specific names of prosecutors or defendants for a 2020 Baden-Baden case were found.
The witness called the emergency services immediately after the attack and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The trial will continue on Friday, September 19, 2025, as the court seeks justice for the victims and the community of Baden-Baden.
