recorded_thefts_per_1000_residents · 2025-01-01/2025-12-31.

2025 simple theft (3***00) plus aggravated theft (4***00), only cases assigned to the 25 city districts. Counts are not all reported Munich crimes. Population: registered principal-residence population on 2025-12-31. Official boundary WFS retrieved 2026-10-27; 27 geometry pieces unioned into 25 districts by sb_nummer; simplified at 0.000025 degrees with area drift below 0.5%. The citywide score uses Germany national priors. Local recorded-theft rates adjust only the property dimension. Resident-based rates can be elevated in visitor and commuter districts; they are not per-visitor probabilities.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.

City sources and their limitations
  • European Commission JRC and INFORM partners · Germany INFORM Mid-2026 component priors

    Natural=4; current conflict intensity=1.1; infrastructure=0.7; access to health care=0.6. Each published 0–10 component is multiplied by ten for the existing research risk scale.; Country humanitarian-risk components are weak priors, not measured Munich street or individual tourist risks.; European Union, CC BY 4.0; component extraction and research transformation by Safrom.

  • UNODC via UN Statistics Division · Germany homicide 2023 and theft 2022, UN Statistical Yearbook

    Homicide: 0.9 per 100,000 (2023); theft: 1,241.4 per 100,000 (2022). Country observations, not Munich rates.; Property prior uses the same 2022 UN theft series against France (2,011.4), anchored at the existing France research risk 45: 45 + bounded(10 × log2(rate/reference), ±20). This is an explicit weak model calibration, not an official score.; Recording definitions and reporting propensity differ between countries. This country comparison does not create locally observed risks; geographic-fit confidence is 0.2.

  • European Commission, CARE and national sources · Germany road deaths, 2025 preliminary

    34 deaths per million residents, equivalent to 3.4 per 100,000. Preliminary full-year estimate published 2026-03-24; not Munich traffic exposure.; European Union, CC BY 4.0; unit conversion and research transformation by Safrom.
