Suspected right-wing extremism: alarm after suspected right-wing attacks in Cottbus

On the night of July 2, 2026, two men threw Molotow cocktails at the alternative housing project 'Zelle 79' in Cottbus, Germany, which is suspected to be a right-wing extremist attack. The incident led to a protest of around 100 people organized by the initiative 'Sichere Orte Südbrandenburg,' who demonstrated against right-wing extremism. Police suspect two young men dressed in black, aged between 15 and 20 years, who were wearing a black-white-red storm helmet—colors associated with the German Empire—and one had a tattoo on his left forearm. One of the residents filmed the attackers after hearing an explosion. Brandenburg's Minister President Dietmar Woidke condemned the act strongly and pledged a firm stance against right-wing violence.
