This is very, very disturbing. The fact that such a massive wave of sexual assault occurred in Germany should immediately call into question their immigration and integration policies, especially after they have taken in so many migrants/refugees from the last 4-5 months. It appears quite clear that Germany has failed to successfully integrate a huge number of non-Western people into their society within a small time frame. I mean, what the hell, why was the police response so woefully awful? And why did this story break several days after the assaults happened? This looks downright embarrassing for Germany.
An incident like this (along with the Paris attacks) is what will cause Germany and the rest of Europe to look at far right parties in their next election cycle. This is what causes people to lash out and go full-blown reactionary because any kind of conversation about restricting immigration from non-Western countries gets shut down as being considered racist. That only works for so long though. The bar keeps getting set lower and lower for the far right to take power due to the reckless abuse of the racism/neo-Nazi card from the left.
The fact that there are gangs of only black men that do this, means that they are not integrating with society. Society is a mix of people and when you get only single races or religions of people is where things get extreme. If they don't want to integrate the government should not be pay them!! They come to live off you and destroy society.
Actually it's libertarianism that wants unrestricted immigration. I feel the question on immigration is that this is well documented about first generations. We have the crime problem since those are first initial in roads to gaining easy capital. It's like the mob. First generation in the US were wicked smart but barred and knew some old rackets to make a quick buck. Followed by the second generation that had established businesses, but were still bookies. Go on a few generations, probably 2-4, and the only ones left running liquor are either imbeciles or people doing it for the thrill while everyone else is integrated, intermarried and working.
The question is whether we can accept the crooked ladder to success or be way more selective to not have the riffraff.

Libertarianism is also against the welfare state, which is a huge reason why immigration has turned into a disaster for a lot of countries. You really can't have theoretical unrestricted immigration as long as countries are throwing out benefits to anyone with a soul. In addition to that, libertarianism is also against the reckless foreign policy that caused all of these people to come to Europe in the first place. If the US and its allies weren't constantly destabilizing the Middle East and North Africa, there would be no migrant crisis to begin with.
I should also point out that this mass importation of migrants isn't being done to increase capital (which is what immigration normally does). Germany is doing it to act like some sort of humanitarian superpower. Unfortunately it's blown up right in their face.

But none of that really relates to your original point, that integrating a large number of non-western people is apparently unfeasible. Would that cease to be true if there were not a welfare state? Or if US foreign policy were different?

Libertarians tend to want open borders but oppose the welfare state. A libertarian solution would be to let as many refugees in as needed but give them no social assistance, no refugee status, no welfare or affordable housing. If they want to come in, let them fend for themselves, work unwanted jobs to make ends meet, figure out how to adapt on their own, and find a way to contribute to society. What's interesting is that by removing any social support it also removes the incentive for criminals, parasites, rapists and terrorists to come in. It simply wouldn't be profitable. Most of the ones who would still come are the ones who are desperate to get a new start and willing to commit to work hard to build that new life. This sounds harsh, but it's how most other immigrants came here earlier in history. Poverty would still drive some to crime eventually, but at least you wouldn't be attracting people who are only there to commit crime in the first place.

You don't think being a criminal in Germany would be more profitable than a refugee in Syria if not for welfare?

In the long run, but how do they transport themselves into the country, where would they sleep, how would they feed themselves until they make their score? The short-term investment to get into the country would be much higher. Getting by day-to-day would be harder without steady work. If they're just there to rape and run with a small profit, it may not be worth the hassle. They'd just go to some cheaper country.
Historically, immigrants did not receive welfare, and very few immigrated for the purposes of committing criminal activity.

The biggest threat to the welfare states of Western and Northern European nations is the ageing of their population. Immigration is the most obvious way of tackling this looming issue and this definitely ranks amongst the reasons why politicians of these nations are generally quite accepting of migrants.
Not providing these migrants with basic welfare services would probably increase crime rates, escalate the social conflicts with locals and possibly even cause outbreaks of infectious diseases.
That only works if the immigrants are useful working class or skilled labour, able to easily adapt and fill needed jobs in the workforce to contribute to the tax base. If they cannot speak the local language, cannot easily adapt to the workforce there, and require welfare and social assistance, then it doesn't actually solve the problem.
The issue with aging populations is that these nations need more people paying taxes and fewer people collecting benefits to balance the books. Immigration in general helps, but refugees will likely be collecting more benefits than they'll be contributing in taxes for quite some time.
In the long run, but how do they transport themselves into the country,
The same way they do now?
where would they sleep,
The same places any other immigrant would sleep?
how would they feed themselves until they make their score?
How long do you think it takes to snatch a purse? This isn't some sort of bank heist with weeks of planning.
The short-term investment to get into the country would be much higher. Getting by day-to-day would be harder without steady work.
You think getting by day-to-day on petty theft in Germany is harder than living in Syria's war zone?
If they're just there to rape and run with a small profit, it may not be worth the hassle. They'd just go to some cheaper country.
Historically, immigrants did not receive welfare, and very few immigrated for the purposes of committing criminal activity.
Are you under the impression that more than "very few" of Syrian refugees are coming to Europe to be rapists?
So we're at over 500 registered attacks by now. And that's only in Cologne.
This also happened in Hamburg, Bern (Switzerland), Kalmar and Goteborg (Sweden). What worries me more is that in both Cologne and Goteborg, the police tried to keep it hush-hush as to not give "far-right" movements the ammo to keep rallying against immigrants. Instead of, you know, stopping these kinds of attacks. It's getting disgusting here, but we keep opening up for more, more, more. But the police keeps silence at the behest of left-wingers. For the same reason, at least 40 gang rapes in Magdeburg (Germany) have been hushed, with the DA saying DNA research is not neccesary. Yet the people there all know who did it already...
Welcome in Europe, where you best bend over for the invasion.

Round them up and send them back. Make an example. Simple as that. Make it clear that their behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
You can't, because it's not legal. As far as I'm aware in the EU, if someone is claiming asylum they get deported only if they commit a crime with a sentencing of a year or over.
I'm pretty sure stealing a wallet or sexual harassment have small sentences. Perhaps if someone is sentenced for rape, they will be deported.

Here you're implying that cops actually try hard to stop rapes and prosecute rapists in the first place. As a general rule cops would rather bully people reporting rapes than do their jobs.
It shouldn't be hard for them to have dropped the rapists and establish some kind of crowd control. To prevent further violations, or at least send the rapists fleeing.

Most cops are not like that, and the cops themselves would LOVE to stop this. It's the politicians here who have their own agendas who probably ensured everything has been kept hush.

Execution by whatever route was my thinking when I suggested making an example of the savages, though maybe the Germans are too soft for it...given that their officers don't seem to carry firearms? One of the police reports from the incident mentioned that the officers felt ill-equipped to deal with the issue. They're police officers - surely they had guns? It shouldn't be hard for them to have dropped the rapists and establish some kind of crowd control. To prevent further violations, or at least send the rapists fleeing.
It will be interesting to see how this affects Europe going forward.

Except you do realize that sexual assault (whether it be rape or something else) is... well... you know... a crime? And that the job of the police is to enforce the law and not keep sweeping violent crime under the rug?
If the police refuse to document that these sorts of crimes happened for fear of being racist/politically incorrect, the police are not doing their job. Here's an article (as well as here for the real meat and potatoes of the story) that just broke today showing that there was a massive cover-up in Sweden over a bunch of sexual assaults that happened back from last summer from a festival for young kids. Once you dig into the story you find out the reason for the cover-up: the police didn't want to give the Sweden Democrats (the only anti-immigration party in Sweden) any justification in their cause to limit immigration into Sweden. Except now it's blown up in their faces and they're going to create the very monster they've been actively suppressing.
Here in the US at least we tend to have a saying that the cover-up of a scandal is worse than the actual scandal itself. This is a perfect example of that situation. The fact that there have been countless sexual assaults being swept under the rug in Europe makes you wonder just how far down the rabbit hole this goes. At this point, can European citizens seriously trust their law enforcement, along with their governments, to tell them the truth about what is really going on?

The articles you link don't seem to match your summary. It says, "That incident however was silenced by large Swedish newspapers and media companies, despite repeated attempts from police officers to contact journalists." How then can it be that the police didn't want to get the story out?

From this article, the police admit they didn't report the crimes and should have in hindsight.
Additionally, this post from Reddit from /r/europe explains what the police chief said coming from a Swede: "It's a sensitive topic, sometimes we don't dare to say things as they are because we're afraid that it plays into the hands of the Swedish Democrats (populist right-wing). We have to take responsibility within the police-force."
There was certainly a concerted effort from the media to keep the story silent, but ultimately it starts with the police. They're the ones who have to report these crimes since they are violent in nature. And they failed at doing it because politics got in the way.

Have you actually been paying attention to what has been going on? This isn't about not sending off rape kits to the labs. This is about authorities purposely covering up crimes carried out by individuals coming from non-Western backgrounds because they are too hellbent with being politically correct. I mean, this isn't the first time this has happened with the whole "I don't want these crimes to be reported because everyone will call me a racist" thing.

So a you have articles going on about how Chancellor Merkel is "running out of time" to find a solution to the refugee crisis. Humor me: if the Chancellor or the other leaders in the EU decided to close their countries' borders to further refugee influx - what is the worst that could happen to the EU? THE refugees beyond the borders wouldn't be able to do much else, it seems, except turn back and head home. Or attempt to enter illegally and face whatever consequences are set in place in this hypothetical scenario.
