Careful on the antisemitism "attacks" number of 4,782. They use the very broad IHRA definition, which includes criticism of Israel and anti-zionism. All pro-Palestinian protests are also systematically qualified as attacks. And 1/5 of the 4,782 happened entirely online.
The number reasonable people care about are the ones relating to serious matters regarding life or property:
"The recorded incidents included seven cases of what RIAS referred to as “extreme violence,” defined as life-threatening attacks, including an attack on a Berlin synagogue with Molotov cocktails in October that shocked and alarmed much of the city’s Jewish community. RIAS also recorded 121 attacks, 329 cases of property damage and 183 threats."
I signed up for Einburgerungstest two hrs away from Berlin, it’s supposed to be in August and i signed up early June. Now I need to find a B1 test and then im ready to join the thousands applying this year. I give it 18 months.
My landlord just read this and slashed my rent by 50%

Having read the census news, I feel rather skeptical about the sinking immigration numbers.
I was a little rash to say so. Then read that the numbers of the previous year were mostly of Ukrainian refugees. And yet.
