Christian Hehl (born May 29, 1969 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein ) is a German neo-Nazi and right-wing extremist politician ( NPD ) who is active in the Rhine-Neckar region .

Functional of extreme right-wing parties and organizations

Christian Hehl began his activities in the right-wing extremist scene as a hooligan and Nazi skinhead at "The Firm", a hooligan association of supporters of SV Waldhof Mannheim . He was a member of the "Action Group National Revolutionary Comrades" (ANK), which was dissolved in 1993, the FAP , which was banned in 1995 , the Nationalist Front (NF) and the neo-Nazi network Blood and Honor . In 1998 he was appointed representative of the NPD youth organization Young National Democrats (JN) for the Vorderpfalz region . In September 2002 he ran for the NPD as a direct candidate in Ludwigshafen am Rhein for the federal election . Before the elections to the Saxon state parliament in 2004, he supported the party in the election campaign, among other things as a bodyguard of Holger Apfel . In January 2006, Hehl was elected as an assessor in the state board of the NPD Rhineland-Palatinate. In the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate on March 26, 2006, he was number 5 on the NPD state list. In addition, together with René Rodriguez-Teufer , Mario Matthes and Matthias Hermann, he is a leader in the neo-Nazi “Action Alliance Rhein-Neckar”. In the 2014 municipal elections in Mannheim , Hehl was elected to the municipal council with 3545 votes for the NPD.

Criminal offenses and previous convictions with and without a political background

Christian Hehl has several previous convictions, including for breach of the peace and dangerous bodily harm . In 1997, the Frankenthal Regional Court sentenced him to one year imprisonment for attacking an anti-fascist in Speyer from behind with a baton and injuring his head the previous year . The judge responsible attested him to have “inhuman attitudes and brutality”, but suspended the sentence after Hehl had protested that he had left the extreme right-wing scene.

In 1998 he received a fine of 1,800 DM for depicting violence and sedition . In the following year, the suspended sentence issued in 1997 for violating the probation conditions was suspended by the Higher Regional Court of Koblenz. However, Hehl did not start his prison sentence in the Frankenthal correctional facility, but went into hiding. As a result, in June 1999 an enforcement order was issued. During his imprisonment he was cared for as a "national prisoner" by the Aid Organization for National Political Prisoners and Their Relatives (HNG). Because of an interview with the neo-Nazi fanzine "Der Weisse Wolf", in which he wished his enemies "a lot of 9 mm", he was denied the easing of detention through an open prison system. In December 2000, Hehl was released early from prison on payment of DM 5,000.

On May 27, 2001, Hehl celebrated his 32nd birthday together with 600 skinheads from Germany and neighboring countries at Steinach Castle in the Steinach community in the Straubing-Bogen district. The concert was broken up by the police. This led to riots and the demolition of several police vehicles. Criminal charges were filed against Hehl as the organizer and a second person. This was discontinued at Hehl.

Because of dangerous bodily harm and violation of the peace, a nationwide three-year stadium ban was pronounced against Hehl in 2006. In 2014, SV Waldhof imposed a two-year stadium ban against Hehl for changing club T-shirts with messages hostile to the police. Hehl's constitutional complaint was rejected by the Baden-Württemberg State Court in November 2015 after it had already failed in the lower courts.

For drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons (a switchblade and two brass knuckles), he was sentenced in May 2017 to a fine of 100 daily rates of 25 euros. The court also considered it proven that he had sold one to two grams of amphetamine in at least ten cases in 2010 and 2011 before his time as city councilor. The judgment is not final.

Right rocker

Hehl was a leader in the legal rock business. In 1997 he opened a shop in Ludwigshafen am Rhein with the company name "Hehls World", which not only offered relevant music and clothing items, but also Hitler speeches and weapons. Due to public protests, however, his license to run the shop was withdrawn at the beginning of May 1998 and the shop was closed by order of the authorities. He appears particularly in the Ludwigshafen area and since moving to Mannheim in 2002 as an organizer of right-wing rock concerts and maintains good contacts with the neo-Nazi skinhead scene nationwide.
