Violent crime at German railway stations rose 6% in 2024 compared to the previous year and has surged 51% since 2019, according to the Federal Police's annual report published this week.
Federal Police recorded 27,160 violent offences at train stations and on trains last year. That amounts to an average of 74 violent crimes per day across Germany's rail network.
Sexual offences also increased sharply, with cases of exhibitionism, sexual harassment and rape rising 19.2% to reach levels affecting both major cities and smaller rural stations.

Previously released data showed that Berlin's central station recorded the highest number of violent incidents with 764 cases, followed by Dortmund with 735, Hanover with 715 and Cologne with 703, according to the federal government.
