Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research (GfbAEV) is a right-wing extremist registered association based in Ellerau .

history

The association was founded in 1962 by Wilhelm Weis (1892–1980) as the German Society for Hereditary Health Care eV in Hamburg. Weis had been a supporter of the German- believing community since 1918 and remained true to this conviction until his death. From 1962 to 1972 he was chairman of the society which, from 1964 onwards, published the magazine Erbe undresponsibility - Eugenische Rundschau . Weis was editor of the magazine. When he turned 80 in 1972, he passed the chairmanship on to Jürgen Rieger . The change to Rieger also resulted in the company and its magazine being renamed. From 1972 the association was called the Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research . The magazine has been renamed New Anthropology - Legacy and Responsibility . From 1972 to 1978 Weis remained the club's second chairman. The society was run from August 1971 to 1974 as the Human Genetics Working Group of the World Association for the Protection of Life . This took place during Max Otto Bruker's presidency of the World Association for the Protection of Life . Bruker also acted as the Society's Scientific Advisory Board.

aims

The demands of the GfbAEV are based on the National Socialist racial ideology and racial hygiene . The following goals were formulated in 1965:

“ 1. All-round promotion of the reproduction of genetically healthy, talented and creative people. 2. Extensive restriction of the increase of mentally ill and anti-social people. 3. Complete prevention of the reproduction of inferior hereditary diseases and recidivist felons "

Ideologically it relates to the works of Hans FK Günther as well as to Jürgen Rieger's book Rasse: A problem for us too! The "racial mixture" is combated, which weakens the "Nordic race" and destroys it. It calls for eugenic practices such as the sterilization of serious criminals or hereditary diseases. In the first edition of the journal Neue Anthropologie in 1972, Fritz Lenz was honored on his 85th birthday. In 1975, Erwin Baur was honored .

The society has a scientific advisory board in which right-wing extremists such as Rolf Kosiek , Hans Georg Amsel , Hans-W. Hammerbacher, Alain de Benoist and Günther Schwab were appointed. Other members of the advisory board from 1972 to 1981 included Karl Thums , Wolfgang Gröbner , Max Otto Bruker and Friedrich Ritter .

The society was listed as a right-wing extremist organization in various state reports on the protection of the constitution and observed by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilization

After Rieger's death, the racist society inherited the properties in Thuringia and Lower Saxony that Rieger had acquired. The "Schützenhaus" and the "Heisenhof" did not belong to Rieger, but to the "Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation Ltd" and were only administered by him in trust. Wilhelm Tietjen had commissioned Rieger to set up a foundation or British company under his name. When Tietjen died in 2002, he left a will that was found under Rieger's papers in 2010. Jürgen Rieger was therefore first the “executor”, then the administrator of Tietjen's assets. He fulfilled these tasks on the one hand as managing director of the British "Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation Ltd" and as a board member of the sole heir, the "Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research eV"
