Holle Grimm (born November 21, 1918 in Lippoldsberg , † February 19, 2009 in Würzburg ) was a neo-Nazi activist .

Life

Holle Grimm was the daughter of the German publicist Hans Grimm . He became known for his writing People Without Space , the title of which became the motto of the National Socialist expansion policy .

Holle Grimm studied from 1938 to 1943 at the University of Goettingen medicine and doctorate Dr. med. In the 1960s she built Hans Grimm's property in Lippoldsberg into a “place of pilgrimage for those whose German spirit is still in their blood” ( Die Zeit ). She was a co-founder and board member of the right-wing society for free journalism , which has around 500 members. When Gert Sudholt was elected chairman in 1973 , she became his deputy. In 1983 he handed over the office to her, only to return in 1985.

She was politically active in the NPD , for which she was an active candidate in constituency association 126.

Hans Grimm has organized the "Lippoldsberger Dichtertag" for right-wing poets every year since 1934. With the start of the war from 1939 to 1949, the meetings no longer took place. After Grimm's death in 1959, the meetings were continued by his daughter and heiress until 1981. The first meetings after 1949 were attended by 2,000 to 3,000 people, after Grimm's death the number of participants dropped rapidly and there were increasing anti-fascist protests. In 1981, 200 people took part.

Holle Grimm also founded the right-wing extremist Klosterhaus-Verlag and had a well-known bookshop in her hometown of Lippoldsberg. Both were observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution . In the publishing house she mainly published her father's writings. The bookstore and the affiliated mail order business covered the entire spectrum from conservative to new right authors. Furthermore, soldiers' reports as well as records and video cassettes with original recordings by Joseph Goebbels , Hermann Göring and Rudolf Hess were found in their repertoire. In addition, she had been running the right-wing extremist training center “European Youth Home Lippoldsberg” in the monastery building since 1961, which was a meeting place for right-wing youths for many years. Nevertheless, Holle Grimm managed to be accepted in the small town. In addition to her political activities, she was also a founding member and honorary chairman of the home nursing home in Wahlsburg and chairwoman of the tourist association. She even worked with the local homeland association to publish a pamphlet in honor of her father.

Holle Grimm died in 2009 after she had come to an old people's home with dementia in 2008 . The funeral took place in camera to keep the right-wing extremist scene away. The bookstore and publisher should be closed. Holle Grimm's activities, however, continued her long-time secretary Margret Nickel in the same spirit. She took over the business of Holle Grimm in 2008 and sells, among other things, “legal advice” for “national activists” and writings from Holocaust deniers .
