Daniela Wegener

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniela Wegener (born May 16, 1974 in Neuwied ) is a leading representative of the neo-Nazi " Free Comradeships " in Germany, who has appeared several times as a speaker at extreme right-wing marches and rallies. She was chairman of the Aid Organization for National Political Prisoners and Their Relatives ( HNG ).

Leading activist of the "Free Comradeships"

Daniela Wegener first became active in 1997 in the context of the neo-Nazi " Sauerland Action Front " (SAF). Her husband at the time, Markus Wegener, with whom she had lived in Olsberg in the Upper Sauerland region since 1997 , also acted on the extreme right-wing spectrum around the SAF. After the accidental death of the previous leaders Andree Zimmermann and Thomas Kubiak, she rose to the position of “comradeship leader” in the region at that time. The neo-Nazis around Wegener appear under different names, including as "National Resistance Hochsauerland", "National Opposition from the Hochsauerland", "Free Nationalists Sauerland / Siegerland", "National Opposition from the Hochsauerland / Siegerland" and "Free Comradeship Hochsauerlandkreis" .

Wegener maintains close contact with the leading neo-Nazis, particularly in North Rhine-Westphalia, such as Siegfried Borchardt or Christian Malcoci . It organizes meetings and training evenings as well as commemorative events for the two founders of the SAF and other (neo) Nazi leaders, such as a demonstration in honor of Hitler's deputy Rudolf Heß in Meschede or wreaths at the regional military cemeteries in the summer of 2000 . She is actively involved in helping incarcerated like-minded people and has launched a series of “national initiatives” for the release of neo-Nazis who have been in custody under suspicion of murder.

Until her daughter was born, she worked as a train attendant at Deutsche Bahn , and due to her neo-Nazi activities, she was expelled from the TRANSNET railway workers' union in October 2002 .

Since around 2004 she has been living with her partner Claus Cremer , the state chairman of the NPD, in the Bochum district of Wattenscheid . In the 2005 state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, Cremer took third place on the state list of the NPD and, as a direct candidate in Bochum, and Daniela Wegener took place 10 on the state list. A case of electoral fraud against Wegener, Cremer and Marion Figge (NPD district chairwoman from Hesse) before the district court of Medebach, in which they were accused of having acquired the necessary support signatures for participation in the state elections in the Hochsauerland district by deception at an information stand in Brilon , was discontinued in February 2006.

In July 2011 she became chair of the “Aid Organization for National Political Prisoners and Their Relatives” (HNG), which is considered to be the German neo-Nazism organization with the largest number of members. On September 21, 2011, the organization was banned by a decree issued by the Federal Minister of the Interior, Hans-Peter Friedrich .

Speaker at rallies

Daniela Wegener appears nationwide at rallies and demonstrations as a speaker. B. at the Rudolf-Heß memorial march on August 16, 2003 in Wunsiedel in northern Bavaria . She is mainly active as a registrant or speaker in North Rhine-Westphalia. E.g. for the first time at a demonstration of the citizens' movement pro Cologne against the protection of the constitution on March 9, 2002 in Cologne, an anti-American parade on March 20, 2003 in Essen, on July 5 in Hagen or a rally against the Wehrmacht exhibition on September 20, 2003 in Dortmund.

In addition, she appeared as a speaker at a neo-Nazi demonstration in Gelsenkirchen on June 10, 2006, which was the only one of the neo-Nazi demonstrations announced for the time of the 2006 World Cup and received worldwide media attention.

Assessment of the constitution protection authorities

Wegener was sometimes mentioned by name in the annual reports of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in North Rhine-Westphalia from 1999 to 2001 , initially in connection with the SAF: "What is unusual in this group is that a young woman from Olsberg plays a decisive role here" (2000) . In 2001 she was referred to as a "leadership activist".
