Plauen, Saxony — The city of Plauen, once celebrated as a symbol of freedom during the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, is now witnessing a disturbing transformation. Streets that once hosted thousands marching for liberty have become nearly deserted as fear grips residents and business owners, who now face a rising wave of violent crimes orchestrated by a gang of children and young teens. This shocking uptick in juvenile violence has been attributed to Germany’s permissive immigration policies, fostering an environment where young criminals, often from migrant backgrounds, face little to no consequences for their actions.
In recent weeks, Plauen’s Bahnhofstrasse has become a focal point of daily robberies, assaults, and organized raids, forcing shops to close early and residents to avoid public areas after dusk. Retailers and restaurant owners, like David Barth of Freshbar, now shut their doors by 6 p.m. for safety, becoming the last to leave the area in hopes of avoiding encounters with the young delinquents. “Just last week, I saw two teenagers beating two children in broad daylight, stealing their cell phones,” Barth shared.
The gang, comprised of German and mainly migrant-background youth, some as young as 10, has been terrorizing Plauen’s city center, engaging in alcohol-fueled sprees that frequently culminate in violent attacks. The “Aura” task force, recently established by the police in response, has ramped up patrols and partnered with youth welfare offices to curb the chaos. However, for many citizens, these actions are too little, too late. The left-wing government’s lenient open border policies have not only allowed this situation to take root but have also limited the legal repercussions for the minors involved.
According to Bild, incidents of violence have escalated sharply, with recent cases detailing increasingly aggressive attacks:
- October 16: Approximately 30 youths physically assaulted five individuals, robbing a woman of her winter jacket.
- October 14: A group attacked a 26-year-old man with punches and kicks, leaving him hospitalized.
- October 11: Youths assaulted another man, throwing a stone at his head, requiring hospital treatment.
- October 8: Three men, reportedly minors, pulled a knife on a 44-year-old, injuring his hand when he resisted.
- October 3: In the early morning hours, a 29-year-old man was kicked to the ground and robbed of his jacket and wallet.
Local authorities, while aware of the “hard core” of eight repeat offenders—some as young as 13—are constrained by laws that provide little recourse for minors. As Plauen’s mayor, Steffen Zenner of the CDU, calls for “consistent police action,” residents are left questioning why Germany’s open-border stance has created such an atmosphere of impunity. Despite the presence of the “Aura” task force, many citizens are calling for stronger measures, including stricter penalties for young repeat offenders and tighter immigration controls to curb this rise in juvenile delinquency.
As long as the government prioritizes lenient immigration policies over the safety of its citizens, towns like Plauen will continue to bear the brunt of imported lawlessness.
Is the tribal tactic. Many tzigan youth also do something similar.
And when someone retaliates comes the:
“But he was not even there….”
“He is/was such a good kid and so on.”
Some dude killed like two others with knife, and his mother to the interview, i am sure it was not him he was such a good kid…blah blah.
Relatives should never be listened to regarding a perpetrator.
I learned it the hard way.
