Mannheim isn’t the only German knife-spa. According to the following report, angry culture-enrichers had at each other with bladed weapons last weekend in Bremen and Berlin.

Knife madness in Germany: Bloody attacks in Berlin and Bremen

There were serious stabbings in Berlin and Bremen over the weekend. In the Bremen district of Gröpelingen, Libyan, Turkish and Algerian nationals attacked each other.

On Friday evening, a mass brawl involving around 20 people broke out in the Bremen district of Gröpelingen. Those involved also used knives, which left four people seriously injured. The police press release states: “On site, the police found the men lying on the ground, some of them seriously injured, and immediately administered first aid. Rescue workers took four men aged between 17 and 34 to hospital, some with multiple stab wounds, none of which were life-threatening. A 58-year-old man was treated on-site. The emergency services cordoned off the area.”

The criminal investigation department is investigating and is now looking for witnesses. NIUS asked the police about the nationality of the perpetrators. The people involved are Libyan, Turkish and Algerian nationals. All of them have previously come to the attention of the police. A video circulating on TikTok and X is said to show the moments after the crime: [See original article for the video clip.]

Three stabbings in two days

In Berlin, too, several people ended up in hospital with serious stab wounds over the weekend. In the Mitte district, two people were stabbed in the space of a few hours at Leopoldplatz in Wedding and on Pohlstrasse.

A man with blood-stained hands was arrested on Leopoldplatz at around 8:30pm on Saturday. He is suspected of attacking a person with a knife. The police also searched two other people who were present at the argument with several participants. They are said to be Chechens. There had previously been another argument on Pohlstrasse at around 7pm. Here, too, a person stabbed his opponent with a knife.

In Charlottenburg, a 42-year-old man was also stabbed in the head on Saturday. According to the Berliner Morgenpost, the attacker asked the man for a cigarette. He refused. The unknown man then pulled out two knives, stabbed him, and fled.

On Friday evening, in the middle-class Berlin district of Nikolassee, an unknown assailant stabbed a 38-year-old in a wooded area on Badeweg. When a witness walked past, the assailant ran away. The 38-year-old was taken to hospital with severe bleeding injuries to his upper body.

Afterword from the translator:

To some this might sound harsh, but I for one do not shed any crocodiles tears for any of them. If they want to take themselves out, be my guest; at least that way the danger of their “Haute Culture” spreading to the natives is reduced by a margin, although a tiny one I must admit. But as my “sainted” Grandmother always said; “Waste not, want not.” The perfect scenario would be if they could practice their differences in “Haute Culture” in their homelands instead.

P.S.: I noticed that when I use “cultural enrichment” in the comment section of a YouTube video on certain channels, my comment gets censored, so I started to coin and use mockingly “Haute Culture” instead. I don’t know if it’s just been me that’s been censored in that way, or whether more people have started to experience this. For several years now I haven’t even been able to place a link in the comment section on YouTube for another YouTube video without being censored.
