Life

Legal background

Schüßlburner studied after the Abitur at the Humanistic Gymnasium in Straubing Law at the University of Regensburg and the University of Kiel . He then worked as a research assistant at the law faculty of Saarland University in Saarbrücken.

In 1985 he was appointed to the higher administrative service of the federal government. From 1987 to 1989 he worked at the General Secretariat of the United Nations , New York, in the International Law Codification Unit . He later worked in the Federal Ministry of Transport . From 1997 to 1999 he was seconded to the European Commission in Brussels as a national expert on legal issues relating to air traffic with a focus on legislation .

In September 2007, various daily newspapers reported that Schüßlburner was active in the right-wing extremist scene. He was then taken off duty. He has been seconded to the Federal Railway Authority since December 2007 .

In 2014, Schüßlburner was employed as a representative of the federal government in the negotiations with Deutsche Bahn on the “service and financing agreement”. The parliamentary group DIE LINKE then sent a small request to the federal government , in whose response the federal government did not want to confirm Schüßlburner's involvement.

Journalism

Schüßlburner is considered to belong to the New Right and has repeatedly published articles in new right and right-wing extremist media. He has published on legal and political topics that mainly deal critically with prevailing political ideologies . His topics cover a broad spectrum, ranging from competition law to constitutional history and political geography to questions of religious studies .

Schüßlburner, who mainly published in right-wing conservative ( Criticón ) or right-wing extremist ( state letters or auditorium ) magazines, opposes "coping with" (World War II) as a civil religion in the Federal Republic of Germany, as it endangers political freedom with taboos and neurotization . He vehemently criticizes the protection of the constitution practiced in Germany and sees it primarily as the protector of a state ideology which, for example, by ignoring the "decisive socialist aspects of National Socialism", grants the political left a moral power premium that the 1968 left does not deserve. He has also published various critical analyzes of left ideologems and contributions to dealing with the left past.

In his eyes self-experienced political persecution encouraged Schüßlburner to stand up for the realization of "unlimited freedom of opinion" and thus full political pluralism in the Federal Republic. In his publication “Combat Instrument of Anti-Semitism Accusation: From the Protection of the Constitution to the State Religion”, he asked why anti-Semitism was not permitted as free expression , and in 2006 advocated that the swastika should be shown again in Germany or that the Holocaust should be denied .

His many years of work as a regular author in an "organization-independent publication of intellectual right-wing extremism" ( state letters ) resulted in a name in the 2003 report on the protection of the constitution .

The main political concern of Schüßlburner can be found in his publication in the book Demokratie-Sonderweg Federal Republic . The work takes a critical stance on the way in which democracy and its structures of rule are lived in Germany.

Schüßlburner positions itself clearly against him so titled " defensive democracy " who, with her against political ideologies directed closure of parties and derived from numerous party ban surrogates and Konnex institutions constituted a West German exceptionalism. According to Schüßlburner, national liberals and conservatives have been the main victims of this special route since the times of the Allied occupation .

Schüßlburner sees the right to create a constitution according to the final article of the Basic Law , which overcome the considerable - also financial - inadequacies of the Basic Law, rediscover the principle of popular sovereignty for the Germans and oppose them for integration purposes as a suitable framework for achieving a truly free democracy developed theocratic constitutional sovereignty. According to Schüßlburner, the Weimar Imperial Constitution can be a basis for this.

Schüßlburner operates on assumptions that the comments made by Samuel P. Huntington in his book Clash of Civilizations are related, in Huntington, the thesis represents that the nation-states in the 21st century as a key political actors have had their day and that world in globalization there will be violent clashes between Muslims and non-Muslims.

Allegedly, Schüßlburner's observations go back to ancient Greek ethnography and are supposed to be based on their questions. According to this, democracy can only be realized in the end as a nation-state, even from an economic point of view, while the connection of internationalism (“world domestic politics”) with the democratic idea would necessarily amount to the continuation of a transformed totalitarianism . Standing up for the normal or normalized democratic nation-state in Germany - in the sense Schüßlburners - requires the promotion of global pluralism , the "recovery of essential aspects of German political and cultural intellectual tradition and the redevelopment of foreign policy thinking, including the modified return to the classic international law at Demarcation the developments that have occurred since the Treaty of Versailles ”. According to Schüßlburner, the "pluralism of states" which he called for a "democratic nation-state concept" would increase rather than decrease the extent of foreign policy .
