Eichenlaub was a right-wing extremist songwriter duo from the Thuringian Homeland Security .

Band history

The duo formed in 1999 and used pseudonyms. The singer and guitarist Erlwig belonged to the environment of the Thuringian homeland security, the Wanderjugend Gibor and was until 2000 chairman of the Thuringian Association of the Young Country Team East Prussia founded in 1999 .

Eichenlaub released a promo CD in 1999 under the title Jötunheim . The group became known nationwide twelve years later, as part of reporting on the right-wing terrorist network National Socialist Underground (NSU). In 1999, the band had sung the song February 5 to the tune of Knockin 'on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan to the group that had gone into hiding a year earlier after a weapon was found. The Erlwig singer was part of the same comradeship scene in Jena that Beate Zschäpe , Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt belonged to until 1998. The title “5. February “refers to the day Erlwig apparently assumed in retrospect to be the day of the garage search, on which the trio went underground. In fact, it took place on January 26, 1998.

Eichenlaub performed together with the singer Stigger in 1999 at a concert of the Blood and Honor Network in Hildesheim. At the event, from which a video recording was published, Holger G., arrested in November 2011 on suspicion of supporting the NSU, was welcomed as a guest of honor.

Eichenlaub declared Eichenlaub's solidarity with former acquaintances in a right-wing extremist fanzine run by the Blood and Honor network in 1999 and at the same time advised against imitating such acts. A request in this regard from the then PDS deputy Steffen Dittes to the Thuringian Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs, which asked about the background of the songwriter duo, remained largely unanswered. In response, it was announced that the duo would perform “at right-wing events”.

In October 2000, Eichenlaub took part in the “First Dance and Music Festival” of the magazine Wir sich, which took place in the house of the Collegium Humanum Association in Vlotho and was the last concert of the band. The group is represented with two titles on the live CD Liedg (l) ut , which was released for the festival .
