I’m not sure that’s really the main reason. We also have an energy crisis and a recession and a lot of people simply don’t have the money to pay for their basic needs. In 2022, 5.5 million people weren’t able to heat their homes properly due to monetary reasons. Our current political party leaves these people alone, energy prices are rising again this year and the FDP clings to their debt brake (“Schuldenbremse”) which makes the situation even worse.
The AfD promises simple solutions for the current problems and a lot of people want to believe them. I’m sure a lot of voters flock to them because of immigration politics, but I believe it’s not the only reason.

The biggest problem is: If an attempted ban fails, it will further legitimize a fascist party, which will probably bring them even more votes. It’s a really hard and dangerous step to take.
