Ethnic and Religious Clashes

Kurds against the Salafis. Hamburg, October 8, 2014.

Interethnic and interreligious clashes are not typical for Germany, but in recent years, two incidents of this kind have been recorded.

On October 7, 2014, Yezidi Kurds and Muslims clashed in Hamburg and Celle. Both sides were armed with knives, brass knuckles and bats. Dozens of people were injured. In September 2015 in Frankfurt, there was another inter-ethnic clash between the Turks and Kurds.
