Bundestag Publishes Detailed Data on Convictions for Serious Offenses
Berlin, Germany – July 14, 2025 – The German Bundestag has today released comprehensive data detailing convictions for a range of serious offenses across several key sections of the German Criminal Code. The document, titled “Kleine Anfrage Einzelheiten zu Verurteilungen nach ausgewählten Delikten aus dem siebten, achten, elften, zwölften und dreizehnten Abschnitt des Strafgesetzbuches in den Jahren 2021 bis 2023,” provides a granular look at judicial outcomes for offenses falling under specific chapters of the nation’s penal law.
Published as Drucksache 21/868, this report is the result of a “Kleine Anfrage” (minor inquiry), a parliamentary mechanism allowing members of the Bundestag to request specific information from the government. The inquiry focuses on convictions spanning the years 2021, 2022, and 2023, offering valuable insights into the application of justice in relation to significant criminal acts.
The scope of the inquiry is notably broad, encompassing offenses from the following sections of the Strafgesetzbuch (StGB – German Criminal Code):
- Siebter Abschnitt (Seventh Section): Crimes against public order.
- Achter Abschnitt (Eighth Section): Crimes against public safety.
- Elfter Abschnitt (Eleventh Section): Crimes against the administration of justice.
- Zwölfter Abschnitt (Twelfth Section): Crimes against the economy.
- Dreizehnter Abschnitt (Thirteenth Section): Crimes against the environment.
The release of this data is expected to be of considerable interest to legal professionals, policymakers, researchers, and the general public alike. It allows for a more informed understanding of trends in criminal convictions and the judicial system’s response to particular categories of crime. The detailed breakdown within the report will likely facilitate discussions on crime prevention, sentencing policies, and the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks.
The Bundestag’s commitment to transparency through such detailed reporting underscores the importance of providing citizens with accessible information about the functioning of their justice system. Further analysis of the specific statistics contained within Drucksache 21/868 is anticipated to shed light on various societal and legal dynamics over the specified three-year period.
