Catfish Attacks in Lakes: Risks and RealitiesA catfish injured five swimmers in Bavaria; despite their size, attacks rarely cause serious harm and remain uncommon incidents.
- A catfish over two meters long bit at least five bathers at Brombachsee before being shot by police.
- Catfish are generally non-aggressive but defend their nests aggressively during summer breeding periods.
- Their small teeth prevent them from tearing large flesh pieces, resulting mostly in superficial wounds.
- Warming waters are expanding catfish habitats in Germany, yet the likelihood of attacks remains very low.
This fish is not a killer catfish. You don't need to be afraid of it.— Johannes Schnell from the Bavarian State Fishing Association

Germany Set to Surpass US Economic Growth in 2026IMK forecasts Germany's GDP to grow 1.5% in 2026, exceeding the US and Eurozone growth rates for that year.

- A stronger growth of 1.5% is expected in 2026, outperforming both the US and the Euro area.
- The recovery is driven by rising private consumption and significant government investments and incentives.
- The German government plans over 40 billion euros in investments in 2026 to further stimulate economic growth.
After Germany was labeled as the sick man of Europe for some time, great hopes are now being placed in the new government both domestically and at the European level. This could indeed become a turnaround story.— Joachim Nagel, President of the Bundesbank, on Germany's economic future.

Germany Considers Draft if Volunteer Recruiting Falls ShortBerlin plans to grow reserves from 60,000 to 200,000 by 2030 amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
- The government aims to more than double its military reserves in response to the war in Ukraine.
- Defense Minister Pistorius prefers a voluntary recruitment system, initially accepting 5,000 new reservists annually.
- A bill will include a compulsory draft option if volunteer numbers prove insufficient.
- The active military force is planned to increase from 183,000 to 260,000 personnel by 2035 to meet NATO goals.
The situation is a 'scandal' because 'it means that in an emergency, ie if we were attacked, we could not call up our reservists because we don’t have their names or addresses.'— Boris Pistorius, Germany's defense minister, commented on the challenges of recruiting reservists in the event of an emergency.

It is ‘a wrong and unfortunately also a fatal signal in the current social situation’— In a letter to Klöckner and Göttke, several SPD politicians expressed sharp criticism of the decision.
