Berlin Police Raid Hells Angels Clubhouse
More than 300 officers, including federal special forces, searched over ten locations on Monday evening. The operation was led by a unit created last fall to combat gun violence in the capital.
On November 10th, 2026, Berlin police conducted a large-scale operation against firearms crime, targeting firearms-related investigations across multiple locations in the city. Over 300 officers, including Berlin's special deployment command and Federal Police special forces, participated in the operation, which lasted from around 7 p.m. and continued into the night.
The primary focus was the Hells Angels motorcycle club, with police arriving at their clubhouse in Biesdorf, a district in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, in an armored vehicle. Additionally, several private apartments linked to members of the club or its associates were searched. Other locations targeted included Neukölln, Mitte, Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Pankow, Lichtenberg, Treptow-Köpenick, and Brandenburg.
The operation was led by a special investigative unit named "Ferrum," which has been involved in 720 investigations, with 483 directly or indirectly related to firearms crime. Despite the operation's efforts to "shed light on criminal structures, identify and jail suspects," and increase pressure on those involved, gun violence remains prevalent in Berlin.
In the first half of 2026, the city registered 585 offenses involving firearms, with 324 cases being threats and 261 involving shots being fired.
