2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击造成近3000人丧生1，其中11名德国人遇难1。这场悲剧与德国有着直接关联：3名疑似劫机者曾在汉堡居住1，包括埃及籍领导人穆罕默德·阿塔，他在20世纪90年代初来到汉堡学习1。穆尼尔·穆塔萨德克因与恐怖活动相关而于2003年被判处最高15年监禁1。
德国对这一事件作出了重大政治回应。德国总理施罗德表示德国向美国表示"无条件团结"1，随后德国于2001年12月加入美国领导的阿富汗战争1。德国还在9月11日后不到四个月内通过了反恐法律，加强了安全措施和情报权力1。
长期的军事参与付出了巨大代价。阿富汗冲突持续20年，于2021年8月结束，塔利班重新掌权1。国际部队约3600名士兵在冲突中丧生1，其中包括德国联邦国防军的59人和3名德国警察1。
The September 11 attacks claimed nearly 3,000 lives, with 11 German nationals among the victims.1 Three suspected hijackers had lived in Hamburg, including Egyptian-born leader Mohamed Atta, who arrived in the city in the early 1990s to study.1 In the aftermath, Germany moved swiftly to strengthen its security posture through legislative action, with counterterrorism laws taking effect less than four months after the attacks.1 German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder declared Germany's "unconditional solidarity" with the United States.1
Germany's response extended beyond domestic policy to military commitment. The country joined the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan in December 2001, marking the beginning of a two-decade involvement that ended in August 2021 when the Taliban regained control.1 The conflict proved costly for German forces, resulting in 59 deaths among Bundeswehr personnel and three German police officers, alongside approximately 3,600 international military casualties overall.1 On the domestic front, Munir Motassadeq, a key figure connected to the Hamburg terrorist cell, received a sentence of up to 15 years imprisonment in 2003.1
