Summary/Abstract: The Federal Republic of Germany has become in the first decade of the 21st century an arena of growing political radicalism. The article presents the three major aspects of this threat: terrorism on the part of the extreme right; greater activity of German armed groups of the extreme right and left; growing importance of the salafi movement. On account of the scale of inflicted destruction, the motives of its authors and the weakness of the state information services we witness the emergence of a real threat of growing chaos with unforeseen effects. In the context of an atmosphere of an uncertain future and a perspective of social degradation attention is also draw to the human factor which is responsible for the value crisis of German democracy.
