from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Ardelt (born January 16, 1931 in Raase , Czechoslovakia ; † January 21, 2011 in Hanover ) was a German politician ( CDU ) and a functionary of the Association of Expellees .

Education and professional activities

Ardelt was born in Raase ( Okres Bruntál , from 1938 to 1945 Freudenthal district in eastern Sudetenland ). He came to Hesse after the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia . There he studied political science and history in Heidelberg and Frankfurt am Main . After completing his degree , he obtained a doctorate in Dr. phil. and then worked as a lecturer and senior scientific adviser at the Army Officers School in Hanover and at the Bundeswehr Center for Internal Management in Koblenz. Ardelt was elected to the city council of Hanover in 1972 and worked there in local politics for the CDU until 1986. In the 1990s, however, he left the CDU due to the growing influence of Heiner Geissler .

From 1986 to 2000 Ardelt was regional chairman (state chairman) of the “ Sudeten German Landsmannschaft Lower Saxony ” with its 19 district groups. For several terms in office, he was also deputy state chairman of the Federation of Expellees in Lower Saxony. He was also a member of the Witikobund . He increasingly turned to his work as a founding member of the board of directors of the historical revisionist state and economic society . In the matter of the Sudeten Germans he was unforgiving and spoke of an occupied Sudetenland that was illegally occupying Czechoslovakia.

As deputy chairman of the main committee and secretary of the SDL Federal Assembly, he consistently campaigned for the Sudeten German ethnic group and their rights. A special concern for him was the reunification, which he demonstrated with personal commitment in the Volkskammer election in 1990 and the establishment of the BdV in the new federal states as well as efforts to dismantle mutual enemy images in favor of historical unity.

He also worked as a writer and published several works on the subject of displacement. He worked as a journalist for the new right magazines Criticón and Wir sich as well as for the newspapers Junge Freiheit and Ostpreußenblatt . He published several articles for the right-wing extremist publishers Deutsche Voice and Hohenrain , including for the publicist Rolf-Josef Eibicht . In addition to the policy on expellees, these include articles on Hellmut Diwald and Jörg Haider .

Alfred Ardelt also signed the “Appeal of the 100 - Freedom of Expression is in Danger”, which polemicized in clauses against the criminality of Holocaust denial .
