StratenschulteAdvertisementAsylum-seekers in eastern Germany are 10 times more likely to be hate crime victims as those who live in the west Researchers from the Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) looked at 1,155 incidents that took place between 2013 and 2015 The Mannheim-based center found that they were most frequent in the Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge administrative district near the Czech border with 9.76 attacks per 100,000 people in 2015 Next-worst, when it came to hate crime against asylum-seekers was the northeastern district of Uckermark in the state of Brandenburg on the Polish border In third place was the district of Saalekreis in the state of Saxony Anhalt All three areas are in the part of Germany that was once part of the country's Soviet-controlled East and which have traditionally had fewer immigrants than the West Read more: Germany speeds up asylum process there were 118 districts across Germany in which not a single attack was reported The study's authors said that the number of immigrants in a particular district is not the decisive factor in the level of hate crime. More important, they say, is the amount of experience that residents have with immigration In western parts of Germany, residents have long had more experience with foreigners, such as the Turkish guest workers who arrived in the country in the 1960s Economic conditions in the region also play only a minor role Hate crimes against foreigners had "primarily no economic motive," they stressed Read more: Opinion: Abandoning asylum rights means forgetting German history Instead of focusing on economic improvements there was a need to increase the awareness and compassion of locals when it came to the plight of asylum-seekers The authors also said hate crimes were more likely in areas where comparable offenses have already been committed in the past and where "xenophobic views appear to be hardened."
