The club colors are black and white, on the "Color" (back badge, in the English speaking mostly " back patch abutting" called) can be seen above the word "BODY" and the respective city or Chapter name a fist through the clouds. Foreign member groups ("chapters") have the country name in color instead of the city name, for example "BIH" for Bosnia-Herzegovina. Often the terms "Black Seven" and the number 7 are used, since the word "Gremium" consists of seven letters and the "G" is the seventh letter in the alphabet.
history
The club was founded in Mannheim in 1972 in the first wave of German rocker clubs. Until the mid-1990s, the MC Gremium played an essential role in the club landscape in southwest Germany, which at that time was generally more regional. From the end of the 1990s, with the entry of other large German clubs into the international scene, an expansion policy began among all large clubs throughout the Federal Republic of Germany, in which mainly medium-sized regional clubs with only one or two chapters were taken over. Thanks to a strategic expansion policy, the MC committee was able to gain a foothold, particularly in eastern Germany and also in eastern, southern, south-western and south-eastern Europe. Meanwhile there are first chapters overseas (Caracas, Venezuela, and Pattaya, Thailand). The Bad Seven MC is a supporter club as a so-called supporter.
Activities of the association
In addition to membership fees, the club finances itself through parties, open house evenings, large events typical of the scene and the sale of items with typical club insignia to supporters, the so-called "supporters". In addition, the MC sells the club magazine “Rebels inside”, which is available in selected magazine stores. A previously offered beverage line “Lucky 7” was discontinued in 2015. An "Open House" is held by each chapter on fixed dates, usually once a month, in their clubhouse. This evening is open to everyone and serves to get to know the MC Board, its philosophy and its members. In the field of motorsport, the club has been active for several years with its own so-called "Top Fuel" motorcycle in international drag racing . European championships and individual world records could be booked.
Prohibition proceedings and official investigations
The association as a whole was banned as a criminal organization on November 10, 1988 by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg .
At the time of the dispute with the Mannheim judiciary, the club's statutes were closely based on those of the Mannheim student association Corps Hermunduria, of which the then president and club founder Michael "Mike" Heyer was a law student. Without appreciating this connection, the public prosecutor justified the accusation of the formation of a criminal organization with the wording of the statutes, among other things. In the subsequent proceedings, however, the Mannheim Regional Court expressly assigned the criminal offenses named by the public prosecutor's office to individual members. After the prosecution's key witness , a member of the MC, was found to be unreliable in court, she dropped charges of forming a criminal organization.
On January 16, 1992, the association ban was lifted by the Baden-Württemberg Administrative Court. Despite the relevant investigations by the authorities, only individual members have been convicted since then, but no new charges against the association as such have occurred.
The MC committee is regularly listed alongside other large MCs, for example in Bavaria's reports on the protection of the constitution . In these reports, Gremium MC is associated with the other motorcycle clubs mentioned with human trafficking , illegal prostitution , drug and / or arms trafficking and organized crime (OK). According to the Federal Criminal Police Office , there were three OC investigations in 2010 with reference to the MC committee. On July 3, 2013, Federal Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich banned the “Regional Association of Motorcycle Club (MC) Saxony”. There were several house searches in Berlin, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The public display of club symbols was banned on August 1, 2014 in North Rhine-Westphalia .
Some members of the MC committee also have connections to the right-wing scene. Right-wing extremists from the district of Hamelin-Pyrmont and from Nordhausen presented in 2013 at a concert the right hooligan band " Category C - Hungry Wolves " in the Thuringian Sollstedt the folder Personal . The conspiratorially organized event was broken up by the police. The stewards wore pullovers with the imprint "Gremium Security" and felt connected to the "Gremium MC".
