How safe is Detmold?

I have never in my 18 years of life in Detmold felt seriously endangered by anyone. Walking at night is not a problem, not even for a young girl. There are a couple of rough areas I wouldn't recommend going but even there the people are usually nice or they keep to themselves.

Very safe! It’s a small town :) You can walk around after dark in most areas without feeling unsafe. Public transportation feels safe to me as well- of course there are aggressive people on the train sometimes but only with their words from what I’ve experienced.
