How far back does the Germany road traffic accidents data go?

The series on this page is annual and runs from 1991 to 2025. Source: Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis). Every series in the table can be charted over its full history and downloaded as CSV or Excel.

What do the Germany road traffic accident statistics measure?

The statistics from Destatis measure police-recorded road traffic accidents in Germany, including incidents involving personal injury or property damage. They track the number of casualties, such as persons killed or slightly injured, along with accident rates per million inhabitants or per 10,000 motorised vehicles.

Which breakdowns are available for German road accident statistics?

German road traffic accident data is broken down by federal state, by road-user group, and into alcohol and drug related accidents. This allows users to analyse casualties and accidents across different regions and incident types.

How should the road-user group data for Germany traffic accidents be read?

The road-user group breakdown records a group's participation in a Germany road traffic accident. Because multiple different road users can be involved in the same incident, these categories overlap and should not be added together to form a total.

About this data

Germany road traffic accidents, casualties and casualty rates are published annually by Destatis. The tables cover police-recorded accidents, persons killed, slightly injured persons and accidents involving property damage since 1975. Data is broken down by road-user group, alcohol and drug related incidents, and by federal state. Road-user groups record participation in an accident and therefore overlap, meaning they must not be added together.

Frequently asked questions

What is the latest figure for Germany road traffic accidents?: Persons killed stood at 2,832 persons in 2025. That is +2.2% from 2024.
How far back does the Germany road traffic accidents data go?: The series on this page is annual and runs from 1991 to 2025. Source: Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis). Every series in the table can be charted over its full history and downloaded as CSV or Excel.
What do the Germany road traffic accident statistics measure?: The statistics from Destatis measure police-recorded road traffic accidents in Germany, including incidents involving personal injury or property damage. They track the number of casualties, such as persons killed or slightly injured, along with accident rates per million inhabitants or per 10,000 motorised vehicles.
Which breakdowns are available for German road accident statistics?: German road traffic accident data is broken down by federal state, by road-user group, and into alcohol and drug related accidents. This allows users to analyse casualties and accidents across different regions and incident types.
How should the road-user group data for Germany traffic accidents be read?: The road-user group breakdown records a group's participation in a Germany road traffic accident. Because multiple different road users can be involved in the same incident, these categories overlap and should not be added together to form a total.
