Freikorps (band)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freikorps from Bad Schwartau and Reinfeld was a German right-wing rock band around Kai Stüwe (also known under the pseudonym Kai Freikorps) and the musician Jens Klappmeier (also with Kraftschlag ).

Band history

Freikorps was founded in 1990 and consisted mainly of singer, guitarist and main songwriter Kai Stüwe. The band released numerous records on right-wing rock labels, especially on Rock-O-Rama . Various sound carriers were indexed by the Federal Inspectorate for Media Harmful to Young People . My fathers' album Land was also confiscated. Stüwe disbanded the band in 1999 and stated that he had broken with the right-wing extremist music scene. After the dissolution, several official and semi-official publications appeared, mainly about Rock-O-Rama and its more or less legitimate successors.

ideology

Freikorps belonged to the second generation of right-wing rock bands and based themselves on the lyrics in the skinhead scene. At the same time, the texts were xenophobic and nationalistic , but not oriented towards National Socialism . Freikorps was the most famous Hammerskins band on the scene.
