New figures on politically-motivated crime show a sharp increase in leftist crime in Germany last year, along with a slight fall in right-wing crime, it was revealed Monday.
The violence led to 783 people being injured, 43 percent more than in 2010, when 547 people were injured.
In contrast, the number of right-wing motivated crimes dropped slightly last year, from 597 in 2010 to 579.
There was also a rise in the total number of crimes - violent or not - at both ends of the political spectrum last year, with 5,839 left-wing crimes (4,928 in 2010) and 12,381 right-wing crimes (12,262 in 2010).
But there was an 11 percent fall in crime directly associated with anti-Semitism last year, with only 775 instances recorded, as opposed to 873 in 2010.
