On the far west end of Wiesbaden....is the suburb of Dotzheim. I'd describe as a quiet neighborhood area....adjacent to the Schmidt Clinic/Hospital....and on the edge of the troublesome area of town (the westend).
Last night....if you follow the city news folks....an older guy (68) returned to his home....got out of the car, and then got thumped on the head (pistol butt likely used).
The attack target? The old guy's handbag. The old guy made some attempt to halt the robbery.
At this point, with the old guy laying on top of the bag....the attacker went to kicking the guy in order to get to the handbag.
Neighbors or people walking by....now came and raised a fuss. The attacker? He ran off, but not before firing off a couple of rounds (one hitting the window of the car).
Police looked for the guy....never finding him.
Wiesbaden is one of the few cities in German with a zero-tolerance for weapons zone (basically the shopping district....after 9 PM). At the rate of these violent acts, I'd probably anticipate the entire city made a zero-tolerance zone for weapons from sundown to sun-up before the end of 2022.
Stuff like this happening in the 1970s/1980s? Never.....with people commenting about the change of character over the past twenty years. There are more drugs in town today, and if you were looking for shady characters....the city probably has a population of 500 of them.
