Not ITT: The obvious topic of crime in Freiburg. OK, in 2019 the lost the lead of city with most crimes per 100.000 inhabitants. But Freiburg still scored 3rd place. Freiburg has many faces and the linked article is a very selective subset of what Freiburg is. Don't be fooled.

According to [1] it placed 13th (of 40) last year with 9.798 crimes/100k inhabitants. According to [2] it was 9th in 2018. Combining the two ([2]also lists the safest 10 cities) I question the impact for the lower parts of that list, as the difference in absolute numbers for the lower "safe" cities and the lower "dangerous" cities is quite low.

City with most crimes worldwide? According to stats from 2018 it was only number one in Baden-Wurttemberg, not even all of Germany. https://www.chilli-freiburg.de/stadtgeplauder/politik-wirtschaft/hotspot-fuer-langfinger-freiburg-bleibt-die-kriminellste-stadt-im-land-trotz-ruecklaeufiger-zahlen/ https://www.chilli-freiburg.de/stadtgeplauder/politik-wirtsc... It still seems to be relatively safe.

  bicycle theft maybe? 34% of people living in Freiburg do their daily commute on a bike and I guess most households own 2-3 bikes. I couldn't find any statistics, but Münster, for example, also has a bike usage of >40% and they have a horrendous crime statistic beacuse of bike theft (on average 13 people will have their bikes stolen each day).
