Ich habe eine höfliche Mitteilung an die Haupttafel gehängt, in der ich alle Anschuldigungen zurückgehe.

Einwanderer, kein Expat. Die Leute können so sehr auf die Terminologie fixiert sein. Bisher wusste ich nicht einmal, was der Unterschied zwischen diesen beiden Wörtern ist. tomayto tomahto

Call the police yourself, now, and at least make them aware of this situation.
Also call the landlord and inform them of the same.
You might also consider going throughout the apartment and trying to figure out who exactly is doing it. If they’re being that loud and slamming their door, it shouldn’t be too hard to pinpoint. Once you know, inform the landlord and/or the police.
edit: Yes, the note can absolutely be viewed as threatening, and yes, it’s worth calling the police. No, the police are not going to sit around and wait for whomever is actually doing this to do it, and without knowing who is doing it, there’s literally nothing they, or the landlord, can do.
Please use some critical thinking, people.
If you’re going to make additional comments about the note and/or calling the police, please read this comment again and then don’t.
Write msg on main door denying accusations
Taking the notes yourself, detailing the noises and the time it happen. So if the police indeed came, you can show them your notes.
I wouldn’t even bother reacting to something like this, though I would try to talk to your other neighbours about if you know them to try to figure out who it is and to ask if they have also received notes. It is possible that this person is mentally ill. For now, I don’t think you can or should really do anything unless it escalates.
Ignore.
Install a camera in your apartment that records sound. It happened to me this year as well. The downstairs neighbor was complaining that I was causing extremely loud noises in the bedroom and elsewhere. I, of course, wasn’t because I’m mindful of how I step and what kind of noises I made. The accuser also claimed I made noise a Saturday morning when that day I was bed rotting all day. I installed a Ring immediately and let the landlord know that I can provide evidence of any day if the complaints continue. Have heard anything since.
Is there even someone making noise at all, do you know that? Or could it just be a person imagining it?
Just go talk to the guy, discussion is always better. When you can’t sleep, you tend to be very angry, that is probably why the message is so harsh.
It’s better to discuss so he can find the actual person making noises. Or maybe it’s you without knowing it. Test it with him.
I would ignore it. If you feel you want to do something write to the landlord.
„Dear Landlord,
I would like to inform you that there has recently been apparent noise disturbance in our building. As I have not noticed much of this myself, it has not been of high importance to me so far.
Unfortunately, yesterday I received the following anonymous letter in my mailbox which accuses me of causing the noise disturbance.
I hereby want to assure you that I have not committed any violations and that I always adhere to the house rules and behave in the spirit of good neighbourliness.
With this letter, I would like to document the current situation in the building for any potential future discussions. Sincerely,
OP“
I wouldn’t do anything to be honest. I’d probably even start to be loud. Within the house rules. Music loud up until the minute it isn’t loud. Because there’s not a damn thing the police will do. Our neighbor had a dog that barked constantly. Police and even the city did nothing.
.
I have a different perspective: Germans tend to be very passive aggressive and love to write notes or knock on walls. However, they struggle to deal with personal confrontation. If you know who it is and wish to address it, go to their flat, ring the bell and address it. It may not be a pleasant conversation or exchange, but it usually means they back down or think about it more carefully next time. If you don’t wish to address it, ignore it and don’t add fuel to the fire.
I would not call the police, take detailed notes, or do anything that goes down to that level. You’ll just make yourself crazy and this type of behaviour is not normal, and should definitely not be normalised by you.
Communications is key, explain you’re not the onr, try to show sympathy even after this lack oft respect in the letter. You’ll probably live next door for a longer time.
If the person will not open up, stick to the accusions or tends to make racist remarks, i’d tell the landlord, calmly and based on facts, to protect yourself before the neighbour discredits you.
Why is this neighbour even so bothered about it ? Get used to the noise, at least it has been normal where I life.
Around midnight the neighbours who scream and beat each other underneath us. At day now the neighbours kids who stamp , scream ,skateboard and slam doors and slam stuff against anything they can above us.
Immigrant here **** stop using expat absolute pathetic behavior
Take that to the property management people. Doesn’t do much, but it establishes a paper trail. Perhaps contact the Police pre-emptively and let then know that this person is unhinged and is harassing you. Anything to establish documentation of your side of the argument is a good thing in most circumstances.
Umm, if I were you, I would take this note to the police myself. This is unhinged and aggression.
Well, obviously, you attach it to your own passive aggressive letter strongly suggesting the anonymous person is a xenophobe and hang it on the wand in hall for everyone to see.
I will call the police is not a threat, at least not to you. This is not the US. If they want to embarrass themselves, let them call them…
I had a guy like that once. I arrived home after being away for the weekend and 15 minutes later a knock on my door accusing me of being so loud. He’d done this a few times before. I told him I JUST got back after being away for a few days. The look of incredulousness on his face I will never forget. This was a few decades ago. He was like „But it has to be you I heard you“. I just said, I WAS NOT HERE. It wasnt me. He couldnt deal with his fallibility. It was palpable.
These people for the most part are mentally off or generally need something to do. They are anonymous for a reason and its just to watch you squirm from the dark. Gather evidence and go about your life. Pretend to ignore it and when the landlord or Police show up, present the evidence and go about your day.

This is not a threat this is reminding you, that YOU HAVE TO ADAPT to the country you moved in…
Notize all your fails!

Maybe just leave the note there and attach a sticky note that says that? 😂

Put it on the door of the person who makes the noise and that’s it
