In November 2017, 56-year-old Werner S. In a kebab shop had detained mayor and said: “They make me thirsty and bring 200 refugees to Olda.” He n pressed mayor a knife against his neck.

Arrest warrant revoked
Investigators had initially assumed a “presumed xenophobic motivation”, prosecutor Hagen had accused S. attempted murder. He had acted in assassination and for low motives, had said a spokesman. The defendant was always in court, but denied any intention of killing and xenophobic motivation. The indictment n withdrew from accusation of murder and raised warrant against defendant on Thursday. It was no longer a matter of killing intent, penal chamber shared.
Hollstein had become known nationwide through his commitment to refugees. The CDU politician was awarded National Integration Award in May 2017 for his integration concept “from a refugee to a Altenaer citizen”. He also announced that his city would have more refugees than Sauerland 18,000 population community would have to do according to required distribution key. This would, among or things, stop severe population decline. Due to his involvement, Hollstein had already reported before attack of threat scenarios and “hate-soaked anonymous mails”. Also on day after knife assassination, he received mail from senders who “think deed is right”.
