Durante il mio recente viaggio alle riprese della Ruhr Valley per Pilgart esploradove esploro luoghi che sono spesso fraintesi o travisati, sono andato a Marxloh a Duisburg, un quartiere che è stato etichettato sia dai media che dai politici come “ghetto più pericoloso della Germania”.
Ho attraversato la zona da solo, ho parlato con le persone, ho controllato i negozi, le strade, l’atmosfera. E onestamente? Non sembrava niente di simile al ghetto estremamente pericoloso che spesso si è fatto. Certo, è difficile attorno ai bordi e ci sono problemi sociali, ma … peggio in Germania? Non riesco a credere che sia vero …
🎥 Ecco il video: Solo nel ghetto più noto della Germania, Marxloh
Quindi ora sono curioso di sapere cosa pensano la gente del posto:
- Marxloh è stato ingiustamente espiatorio da politici e tabloid?
- Come si confronta effettivamente con altri quartieri in difficoltà in Germania?
Sono sinceramente interessato a sentire tutte le parti. Se sei di Marxloh, Duisburg, o semplicemente conosci bene la zona, fammi sapere cosa tuo Prendi è: ciò che gli estranei hanno ragione, cosa mancano totalmente e come ti senti per la reputazione che ha questo distretto.
In attesa della discussione – e sentiti libero di arrostire il video se pensi che ho qualcosa di sbagliato
Is Marxloh really “Germany’s most dangerous ghetto”? I went solo to find out.

Coming from an American perspective, even in Germany’s most dangerous area, I felt very safe.
The old man is wrong about Oldenburg being in Eastern Germany, it‘s a city in Niedersachsen.
Edit: And the poster is from Essen Widersetzen, a protest against the AfD‘s party convention last year.
It’s the same as many towns in this part of Germany. You could have done the same video in Gelsenkirchen, Essen, Bochum or Oberhausen. The whole „Ruhrpott“ is completely lost for good. It’s a decade long progress to this situation which got worse when the Sinthi and Roma came from Eastern Europe. This part of the country has the most unemployed the most trash in the streets and also subcultures from many different migrant groups. There it zero social cohesion left. It’s that bad – yes.
Yeah, Dangerous is meant relatively.
Duisburg Marxloh is not famous for being a super dangerous ghetto.
It was in the media many years because of the migration of thousands of very poor members of family clans from the Balkans and the social problems that came with them.
>**Has Marxloh been unfairly scapegoated by politicians and tabloids?**
One would have to be a really entitled, inexperienced and naive pussy to believe that this area is extremely dangerous
After doing some research on the subject, turns out, Germany’s “most dangerous ghetto” wasn’t even in Germany, ironically, but in a town called Warsaw 🤔
Marxloh is not our most dangerous ghetto I don’t think, but also every “ghetto” herewill be walkable just fine during the day and on main streets. Itfeela like you did not really try whatmakes Marxloh dangerous, which is fair game.
There is one place in Germany that is Germany’s “most dangerous”. There has to be: some places see more crime than others, and if you rank them in that order, one of them has to be at the top of the list.
That’s all that “most dangerous” really means: it’s more dangerous than anywhere else in Germany, but since Germany in general is a safe country, that doesn’t mean you’re going to mugged, stabbed and shot the moment you set foot in the place. Nevertheless, to a German used to much safer neighbourhoods, it’s dangerous. So if you walk around the most dangerous place and nothing happens to you, that doesn’t mean that it’s not the most dangerous: it means that this is as dangerous as it gets in Germany.
Marxloh’s reputation goes back about 10 years, when the police warned that the area was coming under the control of Arabian mafia-style clans. But I’ve not often heard people say it’s the *most* dangerous neighbourhood: that honour usually goes to the Bahnhofsviertel in Frankfurt, although even there people tend to say that as long as you leave the junkies alone, they’ll leave you alone.
I don’t know that specific area, but from past experience with other so called no-go areas in Germany I must say that those calling them such have never seen anything coming close to a dangerous neighbourhood. Many Germans really don’t appreciate how good they have it. Doesn’t mean you can’t improve stuff.
As someone from Oakland California that is currently living in Germany, i have never been scared of any place in Germany. I will walk alone anywhere even in the middle of the night. It is extremely soft here like a baby Kopfkissen. The entire yearly average of violent crimes in Germany happens everyday before breakfast in the States
