Bjorn Ulbrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Björn Ulbrich (* 1963 ; actually Stefan Ulbrich ) is a German author and publisher of esoteric and neo-pagan literature.

Life

Ulbrich was born in Bavaria as the son of a Sudeten German refugee family. After graduating from high school and then serving in the Bundeswehr , he studied technical environmental protection . He joined the Wiking-Jugend and was until 1984 a functionary (so-called "Horst leader"). On August 20, 1984 he resigned from the Wiking youth. In 1989 he founded the Arun publishing house. Arun-Verlag is one of the new right , neo- pagan publishers. In the 1990s, the program consisted largely of reprints and new editions as well as a few of its own publications. The publisher later tried to be apolitical and reduced its range of new right literature. Not only because of Ulbrich's connection to the Wiking youth, the publishing house was observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution .

From May 1991 to December 1993 Ulbrich was editor of the new right-wing weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit . According to Felix Wiedemann, Ulbrich is one of the protagonists "at the intersection between right-wing extremism and the larger neo-pagan and neo-religious scene as it has been established in Western countries since the 1960s"; According to Wiedemann, his book In the Dance of the Elements is "a standard work in the neo-pagan scene".
