Antisemitism response in northern Germany

Overview

In Germany, political entities in northern states are addressing rising antisemitism through legislative and administrative measures.

In Hamburg, the CDU opposition has proposed new legislation to combat antisemitism within universities. The proposal advocates for a tiered system of disciplinary actions, ranging from formal reprimands and exclusion from lectures to exmatriculation. The CDU also suggests implementing temporary campus bans and mandatory, uniform documentation standards to ensure incidents are systematically recorded.

Concurrently, the cabinet of Schleswig-Holstein has approved a comprehensive action plan featuring over 100 measures. This plan focuses on education, security, and law enforcement, including enhanced prevention in schools and the appointment of antisemitism officers at state universities. Commissioner for Jewish Life and Against Antisemitism Gerhard Ulrich noted that while reported incidents saw a slight decrease compared to 2024, offenses have become “more targeted and violent.”
