Heimatgefühl criticized "Lawyer Jun" and wrote that he would like to obligate all CDU state parliament members to a legally binding declaration of abstention, stating that they would not enter into a coalition with the AfD in December. In their view, Jun must take a clear position. Furthermore, Heimatgefühl accused him of questioning the secret ballot and wanting to find out who voted how, because the electoral victory of an AfD politician did not fit into his worldview. Finally, Heimatgefühl described Jun as completely disoriented. #CDU #AfD #Politik (translated)

Faces of War remembered the Bücherl family from Arnstein in the Upper Palatinate, who lost three sons at the Eastern Front. Hans fell in December 1942, his brother Zacharias on October 10, 1944, and Josef a few weeks later, on October 28, 1944. Hans was 17, Zacharias 18, and Josef 24 years old. In an excerpt of a poem, the account described the consecutive losses as further wounds and as sacrifices that had to be borne. With the hashtags #NeverAgainWar and #WeWillNotForget, he commemorated the brothers. #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #NieWiederKrieg #WirVergessenNicht #Opfer (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing the spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, that the 27-year-old Afghan entered Germany in December 2015 and applied for asylum. The BAMF rejected the application in January 2018 and threatened deportation to Afghanistan. A lawsuit by the man was dismissed by the administrative court in July 2021. Since then, he has been subject to enforceable deportation. Because deportations to Afghanistan were suspended from August 2021, he initially remained in Germany. After the federal government, under Interior Minister Dobrindt, organized regular deportations to Afghanistan again and obtained replacement documents more frequently, the government presidency of Karlsruhe initiated a passport procurement procedure for the man. His identity had been unclear until then. In early October, the local regulatory office delivered him a letter asking him to report to the General Consulate of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in mid-October. This did not happen. It is still unclear whether this is related to the incident in the Tuttlingen town hall, where the man appeared with a firearm and was shot by police officers after allegedly firing at them first, Kussmann wrote. According to Kussmann, the man had been convicted in Germany of bodily harm, trespassing, property damage, theft, and threats, resulting in fines. From October 2025 to April 2026, he served a substitute prison sentence. He was not registered with the special unit for dangerous foreigners in Baden-Württemberg. #Tuttlingen #Asylrecht #InnereSicherheit (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing the Südwest Presse, that a 27-year-old Afghan appeared at the town hall in Tuttlingen with a weapon and was subsequently shot by the police. Before that, he had applied for a fiction certificate there, which could serve as proof of legal residence for asylum seekers during an ongoing asylum procedure. The document was not issued to him; after that, he was removed from the building. Kussmann wrote that the man then returned with a weapon. The reason why the certificate was not issued was initially unclear. The 27-year-old was known to the police and in the city for psychological disturbances, she wrote. She announced that she would submit an inquiry regarding the case. Kussmann compared the incident to the attack in Illerkirchberg: A 27-year-old Eritrean had attacked 14-year-old Ece and her friend with a knife on the morning of December 5, 2022, as they passed by the accommodation of Okba B. on their way to the school bus. The man wanted to go to the district office to kill staff of the immigration authority because they had not issued him a travel document. Kussmann wrote that he assumed the girls had seen his knife and would notify the police. Ece was so severely injured that she died two hours later in the hospital; her friend was able to escape after the first attack and survived with serious injuries. Kussmann wrote that the case in Tuttlingen ended differently and did not require any uninvolved victims. #Tuttlingen #Asylrecht #Gewaltprävention (translated)
