Germany records a record number of antisemitic incidents in 2025, according to the Berlin-based Federal Association of Departments for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS). In its annual report, RIAS says the number of incidents documented in 2025 rises slightly from the previous year to reach 8,725. Deutsche Welle reports that RIAS records more than 8,700 cases it classifies as antisemitic hostility in 2025. Both outlets describe the total as the highest ever recorded by RIAS. The two reports also note that many of the incidents are connected to the State of Israel, with the surrounding geopolitical context influencing the nature and prevalence of reported antisemitic conduct. The figures reflect RIAS documentation and classification of antisemitic hostility, rather than an official police crime count. The reports present the year’s data as evidence that antisemitism remains a persistent problem in Germany despite the slight change from the prior year.
