June 27, 1977 - Tobias Rathjen
Rathjen carried out one of the deadliest far-right attacks in postwar German history, targeting patrons at multiple locations in a single night before turning the violence on his own mother. The attack drew intense scrutiny of domestic extremism in Germany and the conditions under which such ideologies develop and go undetected.
From Wikipedia
The Hanau shootings (German: Anschläge in Hanau) occurred on 19 February 2020, when ten people were killed and five others wounded in a terrorist shooting spree by a far-right extremist targeting three bars and a kiosk in Hanau, near Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. After the attacks the gunman, Tobias Rathjen, returned to his apartment, where he killed his mother and then committed suicide. The massacre was called an act of terrorism by the German Minister of Internal Affairs.
