Nonetheless, the situation is being treated with utmost seriousness.
Police Rule Out Immediate Danger, Maintain Contact with Schools
According to the Munich police, the emails—sharing the same wording—were sent to various educational institutions across the city. While the contents suggested severe acts of violence, initial evaluations did not indicate a credible or imminent threat. Police remain in close communication with the affected schools to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Criminal Investigation Launched for Public Peace Disruption
The criminal investigation department has launched proceedings on suspicion of disrupting public peace through the threat of criminal offenses. Despite the alarming nature of the messages, classes continued as normal on Friday. Authorities confirmed that there were no interruptions to school operations.
Previous Incidents Linked to Far-Right Group Raise Concerns
This latest wave of threats comes after recent politically motivated incidents involving the far-right “Identitarian Movement,” which had previously targeted schools in Munich. These past actions led to heightened police presence and concern among educators and families. The city government strongly condemned such acts of intimidation and reaffirmed its commitment to protecting educational spaces.
Ongoing Investigation and Appeal for Public Assistance
Police investigations into the origin and intent behind the threat emails are ongoing. Authorities have urged the public to come forward with any relevant information and have assured that all necessary measures are being taken to maintain safety in schools.
