Rostock-Lichtenhagen riots
From August 22 to August 24, 1992 violent xenophobic riots took place in the Lichtenhagen district of Rostock, Germany; these were the worst mob attacks against migrants in postwar Germany. Even though stones and petrol bombs were thrown at an apartment block where asylum seekers lived, no one was killed. At the height of the riots, several hundred militant right-wing extremists were involved, and about 3,000 neighbourhood onlookers stood by, applauding them.〔Julia Jüttner. "(Als der Mob die Herrschaft übernahm )" "As the mob took control" ''Spiegel Online'' (August 22, 2007) Accessed Feb. 19, 2010 〕
The initial response of authorities and politicians was heavily criticised.〔John Eisenhammer. "(Mistakes admitted in effort to end Rostock riots )" ''The Independent'' (August 28, 1992) Accessed Feb. 19, 2010〕 For some days prior to the riots, veiled warnings of impending trouble had been posted in some newspapers.〔"(Alle wußten, das wird lustig )" "Everyone knew, this would be hilarious" "Spiegel Online" (December 28, 1992) Accessed Feb. 19, 2010 〕 Police and politicians seemed reluctant to respond and when they did, their response was inadequate to meet the need.〔 Outside the building where the refugees were housed, several hundred asylum seekers had been camping for several days with little or no access to basic facilities, contributing to escalating tensions in the neighbourhood.
Between August 22 and 26, 1992, there were 370 provisional arrests and 408 preliminary investigations related to the riots. Among the arrested were 110 people from former West Germany, 217 from the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, including 147 from Rostock and another 37 from the former East Germany. During the riot, 204 police officers were injured.〔Interim Report of the Board of Inquiry, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (June 16, 1993) (Zwischenbericht des Untersuchungsausschusses des Landtages Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)〕
==Background==
The ''Zentrale Aufnahmestelle für Asylbewerber für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern'' (ZAst M-V), or "Central Refugee Shelter" for the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was in an 11-storey ''plattenbau'' apartment complex known as the "Sunflower House" or "Sunflower Tower", because of the large sunflowers decorating one side. The building was notorious for the inhumane conditions under which the asylum seekers there were living and the lack of much (or any) support for them. The authorities ignored the numerous complaints from citizens and residents over the filthy and deplorable conditions in the apartment building.
