Act

As a journalist, publisher (Freiheitsbaum-Verlag) and radio author belonging to the anti-authoritarian spectrum of the political left , Haasis has focused on researching the history of ruling-critical and democratic grassroots movements from antiquity to the present, which he for example in his most extensive work " Traces of the Defeated “(Three volumes) published. In addition to his historical field research , he was also politically involved in the new social movements . In the 1970s he was chairman of the Reutlinger trade union youth , in the municipal legislative period from 1984 to 1989 for a short time as substitutes for the Greens and independents member of the municipal council in Reutlingen. He was in contact with its founder Wolfgang Haug at the Reutlingen publishing house , and he also published various articles in the anarchist magazine Schwarzer Faden published by this publisher .

Study trips, including to Italy, he sat down - for example in connection with the Fiat - strikes in Turin - with the local workerism , a movement of the workers' autonomy apart, in southern Italy and Sardinia with the social revolutionary brigandage ( Brigantaggio ) and the Sardinian wall painting movement .

As a part-time job, Haasis is culturally committed to children: he appears as the “fairy tale clown Druiknui”. As a dialect poet , he tries to keep the Swabian dialect alive (for example in the volume of poems " Jetz isch fai gnuag Hai honna. Swabian poems " - German: "But now enough hay has come in "). In addition to the results of his political-historical research, Haasis also shows a satirical - cabaret component in these areas . For example, after his involvement in the peace movement against so-called retrofitting from the early 1980s to the present day, he acted as the “commander” of the “ Karl-Valentin-Ährenbadaillon ”, as the “state chairman” of the “Citizens' Initiative Rätthet di alhte Rächtschreipungk ” or as "the secretary of the anti-imperialist grassroots group down with the capital letters ".

With his biography of the resistance fighter against National Socialism Georg Elser from 1999, Haasis made a significant contribution to the appreciation of the Hitler bomber. Until then, in contrast to the conspirators of July 20, 1944 , Elser had hardly played a role in the official culture of remembrance in the Federal Republic.

Haasis books have been translated into up to eight languages.
