Kreuzberg

Kreuzberg, a district in Berlin, is currently newsworthy due to a surge in weapon-related violence and police activity connected to attacks on infrastructure. Recent reports highlight a shooting incident in Kreuzberg where two men were injured, prompting the AfD party to launch a "knife app" to track such incidents and pressure the government for more data. Separately, police raids are underway in Berlin, including locations potentially linked to Kreuzberg, and other cities following an attack on the power grid in Berlin-Adlershof in September 2025. These raids target suspects believed to be connected to a suspected left-wing extremist arson attack on the power supply of the Adlershof technology park. The events underscore concerns about public safety, political responses to crime, and potential threats to critical infrastructure in Berlin.
