We’re moving from a rural area and want to know about crime rates.
Is Erlangen a safe city for families?
1 Answer
Erlangen consistently ranks as one of the safer cities in Bavaria, with crime rates below the national average for major urban areas. Violent crime is rare, and property crime is moderate, largely concentrated in high‑traffic commercial zones. Neighborhoods near the university and in the city centre have active community watch groups and frequent police patrols. For the latest crime statistics, the city’s public safety department publishes annual reports that include detailed breakdowns by district.
