Germany's crime rate has generally decreased since the 1980s and 1990s. While certain urban areas like Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel experience higher crime due to factors like social inequality and pre-existing issues like prostitution, Germany's overall murder rate (0.91 per 100,000 in 2024) ranks 147th globally, significantly lower than countries like the US or South Africa. Viral videos, however, often focus on specific high-crime areas, creating a skewed perception.
