"Fragments - the conservative culture magazine" was the name of a magazine that was published in Berlin from 1989 to 1992 . It is classified in the New Right and is attributed to the “political and ideological right wing”.
The founder and editor-in-chief was Wolfgang Fenske, who had previously switched from the Schüler Union Deutschlands in Berlin to the partly right-wing party Die Republikaner . He saw the magazine's task to maintain the tradition of “young conservatism” (the New Right). Accordingly, the magazine portrayed theorists of the “Conservative Revolution” such as Arthur Moeller van den Bruck and Othmar Spann, and dealt with topics such as the “benefit of the nation”. Furthermore, historical revisionist texts on World War II and advertisements by right-wing extremist groups of the Reich Citizens ' Movement and the Coburg Convent , an association of student associations, appeared in the magazine.
Guido Fehling was part of the editorial team, and the authors included Walter Becher , Günter Rohrmoser , Wolfgang Venohr and Karlheinz Weißmann . They all wrote in parallel or later for the new right magazine “ Junge Freiheit ”, founded in 1986 .
Another editor was the theology student Carsten Rentzing . In 2015 he became regional bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony . From October 12, 2019, Rentzing's previous editorial work and texts that he had published in the magazine became known in Germany. In it he had expressed his negative opinion on democracy and human rights . Shortly before these texts were published again, Rentzing announced his resignation from the episcopate.
