2 June: Walter Lübcke is murdered. The president of Kassel's municipal government was shot in the back outside his house. "The murder of Walter Lübcke is not only a dreadful crime, but also demands that we look at all levels where there could be extreme right-wing tendencies. Otherwise we will lose all credibility. And that is obviously exactly what we do not need. We need trust," said Angela Merkel at the annual convention of the German Protestant Church.
