Break-in in Rotherbaum: Unknown people steal a valuable safe!
Yesterday at noon, June 10, 2025, a conspicuous apartment break-in occurred in Hamburg-Rotherbaum. Unknown perpetrators used force to gain access to an apartment on Feldbrunnenstrasse and searched all rooms for valuables. According to police investigations, the burglars stole a safe filled with personal valuables. The entry into the apartment took place between 12:00 and 12:25 p.m. and a search was launched immediately after the incident, which has so far been unsuccessful. The perpetrators fled in a dark car, probably a VW Polo, in the direction of Binderstrasse.
The description of the suspects is considered suspicious. Both are considered strong and are estimated to be between 35 and 40 years old. With a height of around 1.80 meters, they may have been noticed several times in the area. According to one of the perpetrators, he was wearing beige clothing, which could indicate a degree of planning and preparation. The investigation is now being continued by the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) 19, also known as “Castle”, after the LKA forensics team has already taken the first measures. Information can be given to any police station or by calling 040/4286-56789 in order to track down these criminals.
Burglaries in Hamburg: A worrying trend
The case in Rotherbaum is not isolated. Residential burglaries have increased again in recent years. According to current statistics, around 119,000 residential burglaries were recorded in Germany in 2023, of which around 77,800 were classified as violent entry. Hamburg, along with other urban states, is showing a particularly high rate of burglaries, putting citizens on alert. This return to higher burglary statistics highlights the security situation in urban areas.
The reasons for this are diverse. Urban regions are particularly affected, where the clearance rate for residential burglaries in 2023 is only 14.9%, while the overall crime rate in Germany is 58.4%. Citizens' trust in the safety of their living spaces is therefore being severely tested. The high proportion of foreigners among the suspects, which is 65.6% in Hamburg, could bring additional complications for the police's investigation work.
It is evident that protection against break-ins and raising public awareness of security issues must continue to play an important role. The case in Rotherbaum could encourage many Hamburg residents to pay even more attention to their security precautions.
