… it’s good not to win every top list. So for example Berlin doesn’t lead Germany’s list of cities with the highest crime rate – it only came in 5th. Congrats to us!

The list is as follows (city name and criminal offenses per 100,000 people):

1. Frankfurt, Main: 16,378
2. Düsseldorf: 14,989
3. Bremen: 14,719
4. Berlin: 14,632
5. Cologne: 13,991
6. Hamburg: 13,566
7. Dortmund: 11,478
8. Essen: 9,291
9. Stuttgart: 9,289
10. Munich: 8,861
