According to recent crime statistics, Stuttgart is the safest city in Germany in terms of crimes/resident, followed by Munich. Highest crime levels were in Framkfurt am Main, followed by Berlin.
From the
the Münchener Merkur:
QUOTE
Die laut Statistik sicherste Großstadt ist Stuttgart mit 8535 Straftaten pro 100000 Einwohner. An zweiter Stelle liegt München; hier wurden 9181 Straftaten pro 100 000 Einwohner begangen. Als Verbrechensmetropole der Republik gilt nach wie vor Frankfurt am Main mit 17000 Delikten pro 100 000 Einwohner, gefolgt von der Hauptstadt Berlin (16 620).

I'm glad because i'm moving there at the end of the month. Mind you right now I live near Kaiserslautern and touch wood have never had any problems. It is mostly farmers in my neighbourhood and they don't cause much trouble.

Apart from a fight outside McDonalds back in 1994 when I played the role of a screaming, swearing crazed English hooligan exceedingly well (I had to frighten his mates off), I've never had any trouble in Frankfurt.

I remember when I lived near Stuttgart, my friend and his were waiting for a train at the station and both of them were shot at by youngsters. They weren't hit but the bullets just missed their heads.
So they went off to the Police and told them. They said "Nothing we can do, forget it, go home, the kids will be gone by now".
Safe, or are the crimes hidden?
I must admit though, Stuttgart is a very safe place and I never, ever felt safe around Frankfurt.

It comes down to how many crimes have been reported, not how many have been commited
