The Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Bildungswerk e. V. was an association of right-wing extremist officials and cadres named after Hoffmann von Fallersleben , based in Berlin (the last address was Hohen Neuendorf near Berlin), which set itself the task of providing a wide variety of nationalist groups and activists with ideological tools and networking them with one another . It was mentioned regularly in the reports and publications of the Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution until the end of the 1990s . In 2006, the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Bildungswerk disbanded as a registered association.
History and form of organization
The association was founded on December 13, 1990 as the Hoffmann von Fallersleben Foundation. The initiative to found it came from the then parliamentary group of Republicans in the Berlin House of Representatives . The intention was, like the other parties, to obtain state funding through a party-affiliated foundation. Participants in the founding meeting were, among others, the Berlin public prosecutor Matthias Bath , then a member of the state board of the Berlin Republicans, the Berlin lawyer and notary a. D. and spokesman for the "Reichsbürger-Union" Runhardt Sander , the Berlin attorney Carsten Pagel , at that time assessor in Sanders' office as well as parliamentary group and state chairman of the Berlin republicans, Frank Schwerdt , then deputy state chairman of the Berlin republicans, Rita Bönisch , then deputy state chairman of the Berlin republicans, Rudolf Kendzia , at that time parliamentary manager and state treasurer of the Berlin republicans, as well as the editor of Junge Freiheit, Thorsten Thaler , at that time press spokesman for the parliamentary group and the state association of Berlin republicans.
Due to the lack of foundation capital, the association was not recognized as a foundation and was renamed Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Bildungswerk on September 5, 1991.
The number of members was limited to 20 according to the statutes due to the targeted funding. Initially, the organizational potential included the state association of Berlin republicans. After leading members of the Berlin republicans' state board converted to the German League for People and Homeland in autumn 1991 , the educational organization they dominated moved noticeably closer to this party. However, the organizers always endeavored to act beyond the boundaries of individual parties, and so in May 1992 the board included representatives of the Republicans, the German League for People and Homeland, the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) and the German Social Union on. In order to be able to bind the organizational potential, the Gerhard Kaindl support organization was founded during this time , and its members were kept up to date on the activities of the association. When the NPD gained importance in the 1990s, the association limited its activities and placed them mainly in the service of this party and its surrounding organizations. The resolution was passed on November 21, 2006.
activities
The Berlin State Office for the Protection of the Constitution found that the Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben Bildungswerk acted as a cover organization for events by right-wing extremists and National Socialists because of its composition and the aim of its cooperation with other right-wing extremist organizations. It mainly held lectures. Speakers included Dr. Pierre Krebs , employee of the Thule-Seminar e. V., Peter Kurt Weiss , Chairman of the Austrian Citizens' Protection Office, the former NPD chairman and Holocaust denier Günter Deckert and the journalists Konrad Windisch and Peter Dehoust . But the speakers were not restricted to this group of people. Rather, it was found that the topics and lecture visitors of the Bildungswerk ranged from the right wing of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany to the neo-Nazi scene.
