Young people brutally attack Transson in Bremen - state protection determined!

A worrying incident occurred on Monday evening, July 2, 2025, at the Jadestrasse tram stop in the Walle district in Bremen. An 18-year-old transperson was attacked by two young people without warning who climbed from an incoming tram at around 7:30 p.m. and started the waiting victim. After a brutal attack with blows and kicks, even when the person concerned was already on the ground, the perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. The young woman was taken to a hospital for outpatient treatment, with the police suspect a transferring motif behind this attack. The police security has taken over the investigation because a politically motivated hate attack cannot be excluded. The initial indications of the suspects are already available, and the police are asking possible witnesses to contact the phone number (0421) 362 38 88. This reports ndr .

If you take a closer look at the circumstances of this act, it quickly becomes clear that it belongs in a larger context of queer -anti -queer violence that often occurs in Bremen but also in Germany. According to the lesbian and gay association Germany (LSVD), LSBTIQ*people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer) experience worst violence and discrimination in public space. Hass crime is a massive form of expression of queer hostility that intimidates not only individual but entire groups. This tragedy is representative of the many incidents that have increased more and often not displayed in recent years. This significantly increases the number of criminal offenses, which is generally very highly assessed in the area. In the past year, for example, 1,785 crimes against LSBTIQ*person were recorded, an increase compared to the year before, according to the information from the LSVD here .

legal consequences for the perpetrators

the alleged perpetrators could threaten considerable legal consequences. If the police recognize a trans hostile motif, an indictment for dangerous bodily harm (§ 224 StGB) may be considered. This could be punished with a prison sentence of up to 10 years, since community action and the kicks on a defenseless person could be present here. An insult (Section 185 of the Criminal Code) is also conceivable if the victim has been attacked with hostile expressions. In addition, if the motif is confirmed by the translation of the transloating motif, criminal -enhancing consideration could be taken into account, as provided for in Section 46 (2) of the Criminal Code. The provisions of the Youth Court Act apply, especially in the case of perpetrators who are still minors. Education and re -socialization are in the foreground, which may result in youth penalties, arrest, social lessons or accommodation in a suitable facility So anwalt.de .

It is terrifying that such acts can still happen in today's society. Hass crime is a serious problem that must not be ignored. People who are attacked for a certain reason, often representative of an entire group, are faced with serious health consequences, such as fear and depression. It is essential that the police are better trained in order to recognize and capture queer -anti -queer motifs in order to effectively counteract such incidents in the future. A common program of the federal and state governments to combat LSBTIQ*anti-violence is urgently challenged and could be an important small measure in a much greater challenge.
