The Scene of Right-Wing Extremism in Hesse: Unraveling the Key Locations
Far-right extremists found utilizing certain properties in Hesse for their nefarious activities. - Extremist groups in Hessen allegedly exploit certain properties for their activities.
In the heart of Germany, Hesse stands as a contested territory for right-wing extremism. Here's a rundown of the spots that have been under the radar for authorities.
Our investigations uncover six properties in Hesse suspected to be hotspots for right-wing extremism. Kassel, the city of culture, plays host to one such location—Ludenbeck, a cultural center that doubles as a regional hub for extremist gatherings. In late 2020, a right-wing extremist moved into the Wesertal venue, hosting events such as the "Winter Solstice Festival" in December. Remarkably, in April 224, a caregiver for the Nazi war criminal Rudolf Heß lectured at this very same spot.
The house Richberg in the Schwalm-Eder district has been a significant base since March 23, as it marks the establishment of the III. Weg Support Point Kurhessen. The III. Weg is a micro-party with right-wing extremist ties.
In the Kassel district, Klosterhaus Verlag uses an immobile property for commercial purposes. This publisher has been disseminating writings from extremist authors, run by a right-wing extremist who was convicted for distributing a Holocaust denial brochure.
Hessian security authorities also step in to issue warnings to municipalities prior to potential property purchases or long-term usage by right-wing extremists, Reich citizens, and self-administrators. Furthermore, they advise cities and municipalities when searching for properties linked to banned groups, like the Kingdom of Germany, successfully preventing the long-term use of objects in Hasselroth (Main-Kinzig district) and Frankfurt.
While these findings are significant, they only scratch the surface of right-wing extremism in Hesse. For comprehensive insights, consult local or regional Hessian security reports.
