Danger spotted at Lübeck's department store

On Friday, August 29, 2025, an incident occurred at a non-profit department store in Lübeck-Moisling, August-Bebel-Straße. The police have launched an investigation and are seeking witnesses following a dispute over a furniture purchase that escalated into an altercation.

According to reports, a 30-year-old man and a 54-year-old employee were involved in the incident. The dispute was over a previously ordered piece of furniture that was no longer available. The man, who is of Syrian origin, allegedly insulted and threatened both the employee and another customer.

Despite being offered a refund for the deposit, the man refused and allegedly accused the employee of having sexist and racist motives. This escalated the situation, leading to the man being banned from the store for one year.

The incident is said to have taken place at the department store located in Moisling, which can be found on Google Maps. The store's website is PM. The article featuring this incident can be found here.

It is reported that the employee had previously expressed concern about the man's behaviour, making some staff members hesitant to deliver ordered goods due to his past aggressive language. The man allegedly reappeared shortly after the initial altercation and behaved aggressively again.

Witnesses who observed the incident or can provide information about the unknown customer are asked to contact the Lübeck Police Directorate on 0451/1310. The article also features a photo credited to Adobe_135665489.

The police urge anyone with information to come forward and help in their investigation. It is important to maintain a peaceful and respectful environment in all public spaces, and such incidents are taken seriously.
