November 2011: Two members of the far-right group National Socialist Underground die following a botched robbery. Their deaths exposed the existence of the group and its involvement in the killing of ten people between 2000 and 2007. For years, authorities had pursued the theory that the shootings of people mostly with immigrant backgrounds were the result of organized crime rather than far-right extremists. The sole surviving core member of the group and several of its supporters were tried and convicted in 2018.
July 2000: Ten people are injured and an unborn child dies in an explosion of an improvised bomb near a train station in Dusseldorf. Prosecutors suspected a man with links to the far-right scene, but he was acquitted for lack of evidence in 2018.
