He lived in Denmark since 1982 . There Eichberg taught and researched at the University of Southern Denmark , particularly in the field of sports science .

Eichberg was considered one of the most important founders and leading representatives of the New Right in the 1970s. The concept of ethnopluralism goes back to him . Most recently he was a member of the left Socialistisk Folkeparti (SF) in Denmark . He was a member of the culture committee of the SF party executive. There were voices that questioned Eichberg's shift from the political right to the political left.

Eichberg is the father of the composer Søren Nils Eichberg .

Life

In Germany

Henning Eichberg was born in Schweidnitz ( Silesia ) in 1942 and grew up in the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR from 1945–1950, and later in Hamburg . In 1956 he joined Otto Strasser's right-wing extremist Deutsch-Soziale Union (DSU). In the early 1960s, he became a student in the Legion Europa , an anti-communist discussion group in Hamburg, in which the members of the Hamburg-banned Association of National Students (BNS) organized. In the course of the question about the electoral support of the NPD , the Legion Europe split into three parts. Eichberg joined the working group for homeland security and entered with her collectively into the CDU , where he was a member from 1964 to 1968. In the late 1960s, Eichberg became a member of the National Democratic University Association (NHB). Eichberg came into contact with the right-wing extremist magazine Nation Europa through the Legion Europa . The close relationship with the founder Arthur Ehrhardt developed into a long-term collaboration in this magazine (1961–1974). At the same time he wrote political and cultural contributions from 1962 to 1971 for the German Student Gazette (DSA), which emerged from the BNS and is related to the NPD , and from 1968 to 1971 for the student magazine Actio, published by the "Ostpolitischen Deutschen Studentenverband" (ODS) . In 1966 he came into contact with French right-wing extremists around the magazine Europe Action and Alain de Benoist , from which the Nouvelle Droite later emerged, the French "New Right".

From 1962 to 1964 he was in the Bundeswehr, where he a. a. was trained as a reserve officer at the Heeresoffizierschule II in Hamburg . After studying history and literature in Hamburg, Eichberg received his doctorate in 1970 with Albrecht Timm at the Ruhr University in Bochum with a thesis on the history of technology . In 1971 he became a research assistant to August Nitschke at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Stuttgart , where he qualified as a professor in 1976 with studies on the sociology of Indonesia and the history of modern sport in historical behavioral research.

In the early 1970s, under the impression of the New Left , he published articles that were critical of society, which contradicted the established right and led to the emergence of a “ new right ”. With his publications in Young Forum , Fragments and Young Criticism , he was considered the main theoretician of this movement. In 1972 he drafted a declaration of principle for the Aktion Neuerechte (ANR), a spin-off from the NPD under the leadership of Siegfried Pöhlmann . Eichberg was also the Germany correspondent of Nouvelle École , the cultural magazine of the French Nouvelle Droite.

In 1974, Eichberg played a key role in founding the ANR majority wing “Cause of the People / National Revolutionary Organization” (SdV / NRAO), which claimed a position “beyond right and left”. The "national revolutionaries" around the magazine Neue Zeit referred to anti-Nazi national Bolsheviks of the Weimar period, u. a. on Ernst Niekisch , Karl Otto Paetel and A. Paul Weber , and saw the national question in Germany as unsolved and potentially revolutionary.

In the 1970s, Eichberg made a significant contribution to establishing concepts such as national identity, socialism of one's own national way, third way , ethnopluralism and liberation nationalism . From 1980 onwards, articles by him appeared in the national revolutionary-oriented magazine we ourselves . In ourselves he developed theories about the connection between identity, alienation and capitalism and continued the dispute over the direction of the New Right by trying to distinguish the "national revolutionary" movement he had shaped from both revisionist right-wing extremism and the ideas of conservatism. He also criticized the “nonsense of the Conservative Revolution” ( “The talk of 'the Conservative Revolution' is a process of once again not talking about nationalism and the people” ), which many young and neoconservatives, such as the Republicans, thought of as well as the Junge Freiheit , since the 1980s.

When circles on the left opened up to the “national question” at the end of the 1970s, Eichberg became an interlocutor. He gave interviews (for example in Aesthetics & Communication ) and from 1976 published articles in magazines of the left-wing alternative scene such as in the anarchist Unter den Pflaster is the beach by Hans Peter Duerr , in the spontaneous magazine Pflasterstrand and in the former Marxist-Leninist Liberation . In 1978, in the da-avanti magazine published by Jochen Steffen and Klaus Rainer Röhl , he had a much -noticed discussion with Rudi Dutschke on the national question in Germany under the heading: "National is revolutionary".

Eichberg wrote regularly for the Murrhardter city newspaper Podium . His publications in the 1980s dealt with ecological issues and a redefinition of national identity as decoupling and decentralization, as “Balkanization for everyone”.

Together with Alfred Mechtersheimer , who at the time was a non-party member for the Greens in the Bundestag , he founded the “Peace Committee 2000”, from which he separated after a few years in an argument. The reason was Mechtersheimer's turn to the political right. The committee developed ideas of “national pacifism” and was later - after Eichberg had already resigned - classified as right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Eichberg had previously published in the magazine Mediatus published by Mechtersheimer .

In Denmark

1982 accepted a call to Denmark, where he had received the Gerlev Prize for critical cultural theory at the Gerlev Sport University . He taught as a professor of sociology at the Universities of Odense and Copenhagen . This professorship was funded by the (then social democratic) Danish Ministry of Culture . Eichberg's sports research institute in Gerlev subsequently developed into the leading institution of its kind in Northern Europe. Today it is affiliated with the University of Southern Denmark as the CISC .

Eichberg's books on sociology of culture have also appeared in Japan, Taiwan, France, England, the USA and Finland. In a foreword by Esa Sironen, Eichberg was classified between Elias , Foucault and the Frankfurt School . Sironen later repeated this assessment in his habilitation thesis.

Eichberg was particularly involved in the Danish folk high school scene, which refers to the democratic movement of 1848 and the poet NFS Grundtvig . He wrote regularly for Højskolebladet and taught foreign student groups.

In the 1990s, Eichberg joined the left-wing Socialist People's Party (SF). He held political-philosophical courses at the socialist summer school in Livø and published in the magazines Folkesocialisten , Praksis and Salt as well as in SF anthologies. As a member of the SF culture committee, he wrote various program texts on socialist cultural and sports policy.

Eichberg's political publications since the 1980s deal with the theory of the democratic “people” and civil society from a materialistic point of view, questions of socialist culture and the criticism of globalization . His main work on folk theory, The People of Democracy (2004), refers to Johann Gottfried Herder, NFS Grundtvig and Martin Buber: “If you don't want to talk about the peoples, you should keep silent about the people.” A Danish one appeared on Eichberg's 60th birthday Festschrift with critical contributions to the concept of the people in culture and democracy.

Eichberg's criticism of Olympic sport, his materialistic-dialectical concept of body culture ( Body Cultures , 1998) and his philosophy of "popular sport" (Sport for all) as a contribution to "physical democracy" had an international impact . Eichberg co-founded various international research networks: the Institut International d'Anthropologie Corporelle (Rennes, France, 1987), the Center for the Study of Body Culture (Tsukuba, Japan, 2002) and the International Network for the Marxist Study of Sport (2005) . The concept of "physical democracy" influenced the International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA, founded in 1994), an umbrella organization of popular sports from over 60 countries, on the critical journalists' conference Play the Game (Copenhagen, founded in 1998) and International Academy of Sport for all (IASFA, Copenhagen, founded 2004). Until his death, Eichberg was a member of the editorial board of the sports historical magazine Stadion (magazine) and the magazine Sportwissenschaft published by the German Olympic Sports Confederation .

Act

As an employee of the nation and Europe , Eichberg represented a conception of Europe that positively emphasized Europe's special position in the world. He justified this with the " Occidental rationality " and the "logical empiricism " of European culture . Eichberg later distanced himself and criticized his associated ideas of great power , which had meanwhile become mainstream in bourgeois Europe, as euro- fascist and neo- colonial . Eichberg's studies on Indonesia , Libya , Greenland , Ireland and Brittany dealt with the connections between culture and democratic self-determination . Instead of European power politics , it is about decolonization and solidarity with oppressed peoples .

Criticism and controversy

In the extremism research in Germany, which deals with the "New Right", Henning Eichberg is regarded as one of the leading theorists for the emergence of the New Right. So wrote Thomas Assheuer and Hans Sarkowicz 1990:

"Henning Eichberg (...) has the most sophisticated command of the reciprocal cross-fading of right and left theorems (already rehearsed by the 'Conservative Revolution'), and this is probably why he is 'the author of the New Right who has penetrated the left's network of publications most deeply' . (...) Eichberg's national revolutionary liberation philosophy looks astonishingly similar to left anti-imperialism, but it comes from a completely different context. His 'ethnopluralism' turns out to be a variant of the anti-universalism that the 'New Right' has written on its flags. A culture, a people, says Eichberg, has a particular 'truth'; it is an obstinate universe that rejects all claims to validity of western rational ideals such as freedom, justice and human rights as presumptuousness. Eichberg admits that ethnopluralism is opposed to a 'thinking that quickly has the general human at hand (and) that is only too quick to denounce anything that is different as inhuman '. "

In Denmark, the bourgeoisie turned against the sports and social criticism in Eichberg's writings. The 2001 right-wing government's culture minister, Brian Mikkelsen, withdrew funding from the IFO research institute that Eichberg was working on and had a media controversy with Eichberg.

Publications

About 50 academic books on the history and sociology of sport, the history of technology, the sociology of Indonesia and ethnic minorities, national identity and theory of democracy come from Eichberg. In addition to German and Danish, Eichberg's books have also been published in English, French, Finnish, Japanese and Chinese.
