Your safety is our drive!
After the Corona pandemic, we are living more mobile lives again. The consequence: the number of burglaries in Germany is rising. In 2022, a burglary was attempted about every eight minutes. The most important protection for house and flat: well-secured windows and doors!
Almost half of burglars fail
Only 46.8% of burglary attempts failed in Germany in 2022. This means that the number of successful burglaries increased compared to 2021, which means that more than half of burglars are successful.
A burglary attempt every eight minutes.
Burglary figures have increased in Germany. In 2022, 65,908 burglary attempts were recorded, an increase of more than 20 percent compared to 2021! This means that burglars strike every eight minutes.
Weak point: French door!
According to the "Cologne Study," just under half of the burglaries in single-family homes occurred via a French window.
The weakest points were windows (27.4%), front doors (18.3%) and cellars (4.5%).
High material damage.
On average, the material damage per successful burglary in Germany amounted to exactly 3,135 euros in 2022. In addition, the victims suffer the psychological consequences of the burglary.
Burglary protection works!
Become a "time thief" for burglars. As a rule, they then abandon their plan. This is proven by the "Cologne Study". Only 1.05% of burglars were successful when an additional security device was used.
This is how you secure your home.
A secure house is only as secure as the weakest link in the security concept. That is why it is important to offer burglars as few points of attack as possible. We show examples of how you can perfectly protect your house or apartment from burglars.
Windows and French windows are the main points of attack.
Additional security devices make it more difficult to break open/pry open windows and doors. The retrofitting of the WinSafe series is KfW-supported.
