According to his own statements, he has been involved in so-called free national groups since 2000 . In 2006 he headed the local group, the so-called base of the JN in Magdeburg. Two years later he was promoted to chairman of his regional association.
In 2009 he joined the NPD and ran for city council in Magdeburg. The NPD received 2.01 percent of the vote and gained a seat. In the same year it was on the state list and as a nomination for the Altmark constituency for the 2009 Bundestag election and received 2.2 percent of the first votes. In 2011 he was also a candidate in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt in 2011 on the list at number 9 of the NPD.
In 2010 he was elected deputy federal chairman of the JN. A little later, a speech by him at a demonstration in Bad Nenndorf was cut short by the police on suspicion of glorifying the Waffen SS .
