Germany-Wide Home Security Planning
Home Security Planning is available across Germany. We combine official PKS burglary statistics with a practical assessment of your home's physical security so you can see where you stand and what to improve first — using German terminology, Gemeinde population context, and Kreis-level reporting where available.
Official Data Sources & Methodology
Where Kreis-level crime data is available, statistics come directly from German government sources:
- BKA PKS (Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik) — Reported residential burglaries (Wohnungseinbruchdiebstahl) at Kreis level, as published in official annual tables.
- Gemeinde population — Your selected Gemeinde (municipality) population is shown in the assessment header for local context; crime rates use the official Kreis reporting geography.
- Bundesland & national benchmarks — Kreis rates compared against Land and Germany national averages where official annual data is available.
- Clear disclosures — Reports explain that figures reflect Kreis-level reporting, not street-level or address-level precision.
Why Kreis-Level Burglary Data Matters
Burglary rates differ significantly between Kreise and Bundesländer. A national average does not tell you about your district. Where BKA PKS Kreis data is available, we use your locality's official Wohnungseinbruchdiebstahl statistics to contextualise your home's risk.
Combined with a detailed assessment of your property's physical security — doors, locks, windows, lighting, alarms, and cameras — you receive a personalised 0–100 score and prioritised recommendations for practical upgrades.
