from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hendrik Möbus (born January 20, 1976 in Sondershausen ) is a German neo-Nazi , musician and convicted murderer . He became known as an accomplice in the Sondershausen murder case . For the magazine Der Spiegel in 2001 Möbus was considered “one of the best-known neo-Nazis in Germany”, for the authors of the book Unheilige Allianzen as one of the “decisive protagonists” of the NSBM . Möbus has appeared under the pseudonyms Joe Ramone , Messiah , Randall the Vandal and Randall Flagg as well as Jarl Flagg Nidhögg , JFN , Hagen von Tronje and XVIXIV over the years .

Life

Hendrik Möbus was born in Sondershausen in 1976 as the son of the later Thuringian CDU member of the Bundestag Walter Möbus . In his childhood he came into contact with genealogy, German history, folklore and fairy tales, and despite the atheistic orientation of the GDR he went to church and came into contact with religious topics. He rebelled in GDR times and got a mohawk at the age of 13 , and on West German radio stations he came across music that was frowned upon in the GDR, such as punk , Oi! and Metal in Kontakt, 1990/1991 with black metal bands such as Mayhem , Beherit and Darkthrone , whose album A Blaze in the Northern Sky in 1992 gave the impetus to found their own band. At the age of 16 he founded the band Absurd , which at first was based on Oi!, RAC and horror punk bands such as Der Fluch and was ridiculed for their amateurism. Möbus played drums and named himself Randall Flagg on the first Absurd publications, after a character from Stephen King's novel The Stand . He was considered the most conspicuous member of the clique around the band; he had "shaved off one side of his hair, liked to adorn himself with chains, heavy boots and spiked collars" and wore earrings with satanic or anarchist symbols .

The Sondershausen murder

In 1993 the members of the band Absurd murdered their classmate Sandro Beyer. Möbus was sentenced as the main perpetrator to eight years of youth imprisonment for jointly planned murder , deprivation of liberty and coercion . He spoke about the murder for the first time in a correspondence with the American journalist Michael Moynihan , in which he described Beyer as a " pest of the people " and spoke about the neo-Nazi sentiments that he had developed during his imprisonment. New recordings of Absurd were made in the juvenile prison, which were secretly smuggled out and published. On this he took the pseudonym Jarl Flagg Nidhögg, based on the Nordic prince title Jarl and the dragon Nidhöggr from Nordic mythology ; on later Absurd publications and in interviews he uses the abbreviation JFN, on the album The Fifteen Years War he is listed as XVIXIV, where the Roman numerals stand for the letters JFN of the Latin alphabet. While the music and lyrics for Absurd were not written by Möbus, he wrote lyrics for the bands Abigor , Tha-Norr , Graveland , Siren, Funeral Winds , Liar of Golgotha ​​and Wolfsburg, who had asked him to.

Release from prison in 1998

After Möbus was released prematurely from prison in 1998 on parole , he founded the German Pagan Front , an offshoot of the All-Germanic Pagan Front, which goes back to Varg Vikernes . Together with his brother Ronald Möbus, he continued the label Darker Than Black Records, founded in 1994, and the band Absurd and strengthened his contacts in the black metal and right-wing extremist scene. At a concert by his band in Behringen , which he had organized with his brother, he showed the Hitler salute on stage and shouted “Sieg Heil!”. The non-fiction author Klaus Farin sees it as an attempt to politicize the black metal scene; the authors of Unheilige Alliances describe Möbus as "decisive protagonists of the extreme right wing of the scene".

Revocation of parole and escape 1999

In 1999 the Absurd EP Asgardsrei was released , which was the first release of the band to contain a text by Möbus (about Sonnenritter ); In addition, Asgardsrei is the last publication on which Möbus played drums. Just two weeks after his release from prison, he said in an interview with the Berliner Zeitung . "I do not know if it would have been punished in the Nazi period, if you make a public enemy harmless" During his detention was, among others, the music cassette Thuringian Pagan Madness appeared, which shows the tombstone of the murdered Sandro Beyer as the cover picture. Möbus' probation was lifted because of the mockery of Beyer; in July he had already been sentenced to eight months in prison by the Erfurt district court for wearing a swastika patch during a music concert and showing the Hitler salute. Further convictions followed: the Tiergarten District Court sentenced him to one and a half years at the end of 1999, and the Eisenach District Court to eight months in prison. However möbus laid appeal against the judgment and sat down in the United States , where he in the state of West Virginia at William Luther Pierce III. , the head of the National Alliance . He helped Pierce to expand his label Resistance Records and wrote under the pseudonym "Hagen von Tronje" (after the figure from the Nibelungen saga ) for his magazine Resistance, where he tried to bring the readers closer to Black Metal.

Arrested again in 2000

After several weeks of observation of Pierce's property, Möbus was arrested and extradited in August 2000 , with his left elbow broken. Immediately after his arrest, he applied for political asylum in the USA on the grounds that he was a political refugee who was being persecuted in Germany because of his convictions. On the recommendation of the Saxon neo-Nazi and Hammerskins Mirko Hesse, who was also in the USA at the time, Pierce had the Thuringian scene leader Tino Brandt flown in as a witness for Möbus. At that time, Hesse worked as an undercover agent under the code name Strontium for the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Brandt under the code name Otto for the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Thuringia. Möbus' application for asylum was rejected nonetheless. He was finally deported to Germany in July 2001 and imprisoned there. Several websites set up specifically for the occasion, befriended bands like Abyssic Hate and publications dedicated to him called for his release. During his imprisonment he wrote other texts for Absurd.

While the absurd albums Blutgericht and The Fifteen Years War each contained only one lyrics by Möbus, the lyrics of the absurd contributions on the split album Weltenfeind all come from him.

After imprisonment

After Möbus was released from prison in 2007, he made contact with the scene again. At an absurd concert in the Franconian town of Gremsdorf , which was expected to make a comeback, he took the stage briefly, but did not play the drums. He wrote the lyrics of Absurd for the split publication Weltenfeind . On October 16, 2009, 12,000 recordings were confiscated in a raid in Berlin. Hendrik Möbus is one of the alleged dealers. The house searches concerned, among other things, Darker than Black and the affiliated mail order company Merchant of Death . In January 2011 the Tiergarten district court issued a suspended sentence of ten months against Möbus.

According to its own information, Möbus works as a music journalist, and rumor has it that he is behind the controversial A-Blaze magazine. For a while he ran a weblog at the address www.weltenfeind.net , in the meantime the address referred to the Facebook page of Darker Than Black.

According to Jungle World , Möbus lives in Berlin. On January 27, 2013 he gave “the extreme right-wing Internet television program FSN-TV a live interview, during which audience questions were also answered”. Möbus is also still involved in the right-wing extremist scene, he runs a music label and a concert agency with a business partner. According to his defender from 2020, Möbus has no longer lived in Berlin since December 2014, but in Thuringia. Since 2017 he has been a singer in a new line-up of his former band Absurd. Since May 2019, legal proceedings have been pending against him at the Tiergarten district court on suspicion of disseminating propaganda by unconstitutional organizations in connection with his labeling activities. He is accused of selling T-shirts with SS skulls and Celtic crosses as well as music CDs with agitation against Jews from October 2014 to November 2015 . The hearing began on March 9, 2020.
