Arson attack in Hamburg: AfD politician Bernd Baumann's car destroyed!
On Monday morning, November 3rd, 2025, an arson attack in Hamburg caused horror. The parliamentary director of the AfD, Bernd Baumann, reported that his car burned down completely in front of his home in Othmarschen. The incident occurred around 3:20 a.m. while Baumann was sleeping that night. About two hours later, state security informed the politician about the accident.
Baumann made the incident public through a video in which several burned-out vehicles can be seen, including his own. In the recordings, he confirms that the destroyed car was registered to his wife. Finding witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators is now the goal of the police, who have so far had no success in the search.
Political background
The situation is made even more explosive by a letter of responsibility that was published on the left-wing extremist platform Indymedia. It calls for supporting militant anti-fascist groups. These connections make it clear that this crime did not occur with an inexplicable motive, but is deeply rooted in an increasingly polarized political climate.
Interestingly, this is not the first attack on Baumann in his neighborhood. A similar arson attack occurred in August 2024, in which a tenant's car in his apartment building was affected. Such incidents raise questions about the safety of political figures and their families, particularly in light of political controversies.
The state security agency has taken over the investigation while the police are looking for witnesses. One wonders: How will the situation develop and what measures will be taken to prevent such attacks in the future?
The circumstances surrounding this arson attack show once again how complex and multi-layered the political landscape in Germany has become. It remains to be hoped that the perpetrators will be caught quickly and the safety of citizens, especially political activists, can be guaranteed.
