The Antifascist Information, Documentation and Archive Center Munich e.V. (Antifaschistische Informations-, Dokumentations- und Archivstelle München e. V.), or a.i.d.a., is a longstanding hub of information on far-right activity in Germany, especially in Bayern It has been accumulating material and monitoring far-right activity since 1990. One of its longest running projects is a chronology of far-right activities and attacks in Bayern, especially in München.

Using the precise descriptions for incidents since 2010 in this chronology, incidents (Vorfälle) were provided a precise geolocational code. Mostly, these codes are accurate to within a dozen metres of the incident. Thus, it is possible to detect the distribution of incidents across München’s districts.

The two central districts, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt (which includes the main train station as well as München’s most well-known synagogue) and Altstadt-Lehel account for the overwhelming majority of incidents. Note that, where no specific location in München is provided in the incident description, the default geolocational code is for the centre of München, in Altstadt-Lehel. So besides being a magnet of far-right (and other movement) activism in general, since it encompasses the Marienplatz and Stachus, Altstadt-Lehel is also somewhat inflated as the default location. (Some further coding work is needed to filter out the ‘general München’ incidents that are agglomerated into figures for Altstadt-Lehel.)

I plan some further fiddling with this data, but below is a quick interactive plot with all 1164 incidents in München from .

In particular, a short article for Haidhauser Nachrichten, a local newspaper in München, is planned, looking at incidents in Au-Haidhausen. The third most incidents between 2010 and the end of 2025 occurred in Au-Haidhausen: 64.
