CDU MP's Berlin Constituency Office Window Smeared with Paint

The constituency office of CDU MP Ottilie Klein, located on Parchimer Allee in Berlin, was vandalized after paint was smeared across its window. Klein reported the incident on social media and pushed back firmly against what she described as an attempt at intimidation. "CDU politicians should be silenced when they take aim at extremists, antisemites and criminals?" she wrote, adding: "I will not be intimidated." Klein had also served as CDU Berlin's general secretary until July 2026.

The attack on Klein's office is part of a wider pattern of vandalism targeting party offices across Berlin in recent days. On a Wednesday, a staff member at Die Linke's office at Cecilienplatz in Hellersdorf reported paint smeared on a window frame around 1:00 pm and intended to remove it themselves. In the night of 15 October, three further party offices were hit. In Britz, political posters were stuck to a building facade on Britzer Damm at around 0:40 am. Minutes later, at 0:45 am, officers in Markgrafenstraße in Kreuzberg spotted a group of three people attaching posters to the roller shutters of a party office; the group fled when they saw the police vehicle, but a 25-year-old woman was temporarily detained. Officers found more posters with identical content in her backpack, and she was released after her identity was confirmed. At around 1:30 am, police discovered further postering at a party office on Uhlandstraße in Wilmersdorf.
