Angela Merkel is to come under renewed criticism of her open-door immigration policy after another horrific attack on German soil.
Last night a Syrian refugee wielding a machete killed a pregnant woman and injured two other people before being arrested by police.
The attack happened in the south western city of Reutlingen near a doner kebab stand in a bus station at Listplatz Square.
German media have been reporting that the motive for the attack in the city south of Stuttgart was unclear.
The 17-year-old, who a witness said shouted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is Great) during the attack, severely wounded four Hong Kong residents on the train late on Monday, then injured a local woman after fleeing, before police shot him dead.
He had entered Germany last summer with waves of migrants, raising more questions about Chancellor Merkel's open-door refugee policy. Around one million migrants came to the country in 2015, many fleeing war in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq.
Elsewhere a 27-year-old bomber, a Syrian man, blew himself up close to a German music festival in an 'Islamist suicide attack' - the third bloody attack on the country in the past week.
The Syrian man who was denied asylum in the country, injured 12 people outside a packed wine bar in Ansbach, near Nuremberg at 10pm last night.
The unnamed bomber was turned away from an open-air music festival filled with 2,500 people because he did not have a ticket.
Instead he walked to a bar in the centre of Ansback and detonated a DIY bomb filled with metal shavings and screws. He died and 12 others were injured, three seriously.
The attack came just days after a young Afghan swung an axe at passengers on a train in Bavaria.
The viscous cases are likely to further deepen worries about so-called 'lone wolf' attacks in Europe and could put political pressure on Merkel.
The Afghan attacker came to Germany as an unaccompanied minor and was registered as a refugee on June 30 last year in Passau.
Frank Decker, political scientist at Bonn University, said: 'In the minds of many people, his arrival is directly linked to Merkel and her liberal refugee policies.'
The attack took place days after a Tunisian delivery man ploughed a lorry into crowds of Bastille Day revelers in Nice, killing 84. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the mass murder.
