Officials added that most of these acts were carried out by far-right extremists.
Germany is home to Western Europe’s second-largest Muslim population after France, with nearly 5.5 million Muslims among its 85 million residents.
In recent years, anti-Muslim racism and violence have risen, fueled by far-right political movements and parties, including the opposition Alternative for Germany (AfD).
