Judith Rothe and Enrico Marx

Enrico Marx (* 1976 ) from Sotterhausen near Sangerhausen is a neo-Nazi who acts as the base manager of the NPD youth organization Young National Democrats , runs a mail order company for right-wing extremist music, and organizes right-wing rock concerts. He is considered a central figure for right-wing extremism in Saxony-Anhalt.

Political career

Enrico Marx, who initially lived in Riethnordhausen , was noticed at the end of the 1990s as the leader of the now inactive or disbanded Free Comradeship "Ostara Skinheads". At the same time he kept close contacts to the " National and Social Action Alliance West Thuringia " (NSAW), especially to its leader Marco Polzius from Nordhausen . So reported z. B. both together a demonstration on April 13, 2002 in Eisenach under the motto "Solidarity with national prisoners". In addition, Marx is also involved in the aid organization for national political prisoners and their relatives(HNG). Since March 26, 2006, Marx has headed the Sangerhausen base of the “Young National Democrats” (JN). At the same time, the majority of the Ostara comradeship went over to the NPD youth organization.

According to the assessment of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony-Anhalt, Marx is regarded as a multiplier of the extreme right and a leading figure in the south of the country. He is "a very active neo-Nazi".

Marx as a right-wing rocker

In addition to his political ambitions, Marx is particularly active in the right-wing rock spectrum. He is the publisher of the right-wing rock fanzine "Ostara", which, according to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, is the best-known right-wing extremist fanzine from Saxony-Anhalt with a nationwide distribution. With "Barbarossa-Versand" he operates one of the largest mail order businesses for legal rock in Central Germany, which also sponsors major neo-Nazi events such as the Festival of the Nations in Jena. In addition to classic legal rock, NSBM publications are also produced and sold here . He released the indexed split CD Vereint durch Musik, the debut album by Hate Soldiers , a band in which his brother Marcel was involved as a singer.

Since the end of the 1990s, Marx has regularly organized neo-Nazi concerts and parties for solstice celebrations and similar occasions, to which initially up to 500 people, primarily from the neo-Nazi scene from Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and West Saxony, traveled. In mid-2003, he acquired a former inn in Sotterhausen , which since it opened as an illegal restaurant on July 6th has been one of the most important meeting places for the extreme right-wing scene in southern Saxony-Anhalt and is regularly covered in detail in the state's intelligence reports. In addition to numerous right-wing rock concerts, training events for the NPD and JN as well as hall events for other extreme right-wing groups take place here. After the police stopped an illegal concert at Whitsun 2005, more than 60 neo-Nazis traveled to the small town a week later to take part in a concert disguised as a birthday party. This concert was also banned in advance. After the live music started, the hall of the former LPG was cleared, which resulted in massive resistance and violent riots by the visitors against police officers. The neo-Nazi protest rallies that followed on June 3rd and 4th in Sangerhausen and Merseburg were supported and registered by the nationwide neo-Nazi leader Christian Worch .

In July 2006, several copies of the right-wing extremist football CD "Zu Gast bei uns" were seized during a police search. Earlier searches had also found indexed and criminally relevant sound carriers. In December 2005, the Allstedt-Kaltenborn administrative community withdrew Marx's license to sell CDs and clothing due to a series of legal violations. The proceedings against which he appealed to the Sangerhausen district is still ongoing.

His partner Judith Rothe

Together with Marx, his partner Judith Rothe (* 1979) is also active in the right-wing extremist scene. Together they run the “Zum Thingplatz” scene in Sotterhausen. Rothe ran for the NPD in the 2005 Bundestag election and the state election. Together with Katharina Becker (NPD Lower Saxony) and Gitta Schüßler , she founded a "National Women's Ring" on September 16, 2006 in Sotterhausen as a nationwide women's organization of the NPD. Meanwhile, Rothe acts as the deputy chairwoman of the organization renamed " Ring Nationaler Frauen ". She also maintains good contacts with the Erfurt neo-Nazi activist Isabell Pohl and the "Active Women Fraction".
