Living with a niqab in Germany
The incident took place at the Montagnese bakery in Hirschlanden district. At the beginning of February, two women appeared in the shop, one of them wearing a niqab
The baker took a look at the situation himself and asked the customer to remove her veil. He did so politely, he said.
The customer became aggressive. She recorded parts of the
argument on her cell phone, which obviously made the situation
worse. "You can't walk around like that, we're not
in the Middle Ages," the baker told her.
The baker ends the argument by asking the veiled woman to leave the store, apparently in no uncertain terms.
The state security criminal department is investigating. It is looking into whether racist insults can be heard in the video of the veiled woman.
87 percent of the people who voted on Schwäbische.de are
on the master baker's side. As of February 20, 2025, at
9 a.m., nearly 17,400 people had cast their votes. Around five percent cannot understand the baker's reaction.
