Lisbeth Grolitsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisbeth Grolitsch (born August 8, 1922 - † July 13, 2017 ) was a German publicist and leading exponent of neo-Nazi and ethnic ideology. Grolitsch was Gau-Unterführer of the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM) until 1945 . After the end of the war, she co-founded numerous right-wing extremist organizations that, with the exception of the Nationalist Front , which was banned in 1992 and the Wiking Youth, which was banned in 1994, still exist under association law, including the Berliner Kulturgemeinschaft Preußen eV, the Deutsche Kulturwerk Österreich , the German Kulturgemeinschaft and the Ulrich von Hutten Circle of Friends . In the latter two she was the club chairman. Grolitsch is considered one of the three most influential women in Austrian neo-fascism.

Life

In 1983, together with Otto Ernst Remer , a Holocaust denier who was convicted six times between 1952 and 1994 for sedition , she founded the Ulrich von Hutten Circle of Friends, which is still active today. Its mouthpiece is the magazine Huttenbriefe (for the legal significance of the positions of Grolitsch and Remers, see also the Remer trial ). After his first trial in 1952, five others followed against Remer, and he evaded imprisonment by emigrating to Spain. The magazine has been published by Grolitsch since Remer's death in 1997, the publishing headquarters in Germany is Stockstadt am Main and for Austria (headquarters of the editorial office) Graz .

The international lawyer Hans Werner Bracht published in the Huttenbriefe and in May 2006 (posthumously) defended the thesis that Adolf Hitler was only partially to blame for the Second World War and that the German Reich still existed within the borders before 1945 under international law. The lawyers Horst Mahler and Jürgen Rieger , who have been convicted of hatred several times, have also published in the magazines published by Grolitsch. Another regular author is Herbert Schweiger , who has been convicted several times in Austria for re-use . Articles by the Austrian journalist and former Nazi Lothar Greil also appear regularly .

Shortly before his death, the Berlin conductor Rolf Reuter came under public criticism because on May 13, 2006, he and Grolitsch opened a “singing leader course” of the Ulrich von Hutten Circle of Friends and gave lectures to this organization. Reuter distanced himself from the ideas of the organization under public pressure. A demand by the Berlin SPD politician Tom Schreiber , a member of the Berlin House of Representatives , to remove the Federal Cross of Merit from the conductor , was not accepted by the Office of the Federal President . Through Reuters' controversial lectures to the Freundeskreis Ulrich von Hutten "The German folk song as the motherland of high culture" and "Anton Bruckner and the German folk soul", the Grolitsch organization, founded in 1983, came again into the focus of public interest.

Grolitsch has published numerous articles and books, all of which were published by her own publishers. A summary of her ideas can be found in the book Notwende , published by her book and magazine publisher Huttenbriefe in Graz . This volume is above all a reprint of old texts from the Hutten letters, the unadulterated admiration of Hitler in the essays stands out, as the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance notes.
