The Mölln arson attack (German: Brandanschlag in Mölln) was the first fatal case of far-right extremists setting fire to migrants' homes in post-reunification Germany, and one of the earliest cases of right-wing terrorism in the country's post-unification history. On the night of 22 November 1992, two neo-Nazis set fire to the two houses of Turkish families in Mölln, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Three people were killed and nine injured.
