Maik Bunzel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maik Bunzel (born December 6, 1984 in Cottbus ) is a German lawyer , competitive bodybuilder , neo-Nazi activist, singer and protagonist of the openly National Socialist and anti-Semitic band " Hassgesang ".

Life

Maik Bunzel comes from Cottbus. At the age of 13 he got into the neo-Nazi scene . He graduated from high school with top marks. He then moved to Teltow and studied law at the Free University of Berlin . During his studies he was temporarily a member of the Berlin fraternity Gothia .

Protagonist of the band "Hassgesang"

According to his own information, Bunzel came into contact with the right-wing extremist scene through music and became a skinhead . The band "Hassgesang" is considered a project by Bunzel, which he founded at the age of 15. Bunzel usually makes the recordings as a singer, guitarist and drummer alone in the studio and only brings in other musicians for live performances. Only some of the song lyrics are from other authors. The band was mentioned for the first time in 2003 in the annual report of the Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution and has been mentioned there repeatedly since then, Bunzel himself has been observed since his 18th birthday. Songs with titles like “Ausländer raus”, “Zurück ins Reich” or “Nigger out” come from the band. In "hate song" songs it says:

“ Adolf Hitler , in the fight for our country. Adolf Hitler, his work demonized and misunderstood. Adolf Hitler, you showed us how. Adolf Hitler, Sieg Heil it sounds up to you. "

“It is known all over the world that the Jew does not think much of work. ... Holy be command of all peoples, nuclear missiles on Israel . "

- Maik Bunzel

Thomas Kuban described “Hassgesang” in 2014 as “one of the most inhuman German neo-Nazi bands ”, calling for “the murder of Jews, dark-skinned people and politicians” and “German women who get involved with dark-skinned men”. The band admitted to the forbidden network Blood and Honor as well as to the fact that their hatred turns into violence and one has to kill for the "Reich". Three of the band's recordings were indexed by the Federal Testing Office for media harmful to minors and are subject to an “absolute ban on distribution”. In 2004, the Cottbus District Court sentenced Bunzel to public incitement to criminal offenses and incitement to hatred in relation to the album Until the Last Drop of Blood , the cover of which shows a transparent swastika over the barbed wire fence of a concentration camp . Bunzel used the money obtained by selling the albums exclusively for "political projects".

Bunzel, who is described as strictly National Socialist, made a statement in spring 2016 at the request of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). He wrote the lyrics at the age of 18, today he “wouldn't do it like that anymore”. Bunzel left the NDR's question as to whether he was still active in the neo-Nazi scene unanswered. Bunzel also told the Nordkurier that he would no longer do many things today that he used to do. “Hassgesang” published a song on a right-wing extremist record label in 2014, when Bunzel was already working as a judge in Bavaria. Bunzel also made the following statement:

"Anyone looking for political alternatives to the democratic system will find them."

- Maik Bunzel, 2009

"Hate song" is considered to be the extended musical arm of the neo-Nazi scene in southern Brandenburg. Bunzel, who has extensive contacts in the national and international right-wing extremist scene, was behind the resistance movement in southern Brandenburg , which was banned in 2012 and with which he identified himself and with him. As part of the ban on this organization, Bunzel's apartment was also searched. An administrative court action by Bunzel against this was unsuccessful; the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg rather confirmed Bunzel's leading role within the resistance movement. "Hate song" is also associated with the so-called Schulhof CD , which the National Democratic Party of Germany distributed in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2010 .

In 2009, Bunzel said that a neo-Nazi had to adapt externally. However, Bunzel's large-scale tattoos were discussed in media reports.

Activity as judge and lawyer

After completing the legal clerkship , which he had partly completed with the Berlin lawyer and former federal leader of the Wiking Youth Wolfram Nahrath , Bunzel applied to be a judge in Berlin, where he was rejected due to poor exam grades. According to his own information, Bunzel was employed as a research assistant at the US law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in 2013 .

On November 1, 2013, Bunzel was accepted into the Bavarian judicial service as a probationary judge and, after being sworn in to the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, assigned to the Lichtenfels District Court , where he took over a civil law department. Bunzel was urgently expected at the Lichtenfels District Court to relieve the strained personnel situation.

The Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution had been informed by its Brandenburg colleagues about Bunzel's move to Bavaria, but the information initially did not lead to any consequences. It was only in October 2014 that Bunzel's right-wing extremist attitudes became known by chance, when he reported a theft and a police officer noticed that the name was identical to the singer, who was being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, because the first name was atypical for Franconia. After Bunzel's employment in the Bavarian judiciary had become known and generated a great deal of media coverage, Bunzel quit the judicial service and was thus able to prevent a dismissal. The Bavarian state parliament member Christoph Rabenstein ( SPD ) criticized the fact that the Bavarian Ministry of Justice had not checked Bunzel's loyalty to the constitution before he was hired. Before being hired, Bunzel had not truthfully completed a questionnaire on constitutional compliance.

Bunzel has been practicing as a lawyer in Cottbus since 2015. In April 2016, for example, he appeared as Ralf Wohlleben's defender in the NSU trial . He also acted as a defense lawyer in Hof and represented a former leading member of the "resistance movement" in southern Brandenburg.

In the criminal proceedings opened in 2015 before the Magdeburg Regional Court against a gang of alleged Polish tax evaders due to diesel shuffling with 14 million euros in damage, he represented a former manager of a front company. The trial threatens to burst because of the tactics of the defense, which are playing on time, which would probably result in the defendants being unpunished.

Doctorate at the University of Greifswald

In September 2012, Bunzel began a criminal procedural law doctorate at the Free University of Berlin about the criminal proceedings access to IT systems . In connection with Bunzel's resignation from the judicial service in October 2014, the Berlin criminal lawyer Klaus Rogall ended his doctoral student relationship . The work that emerged in this context was later published by Bunzel. After research by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , Bunzel received his doctorate from October 2014 at the University of Greifswald , where law professor Ralph Weber had accepted his thesis. Weber was elected to the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as a direct candidate of the AfD for the state elections in 2016 . The medical law doctorate on the subject of the private medical remuneration claim according to the GOÄ in the field of tension of medical progress took place in February 2016. Weber stated that he only found out about Bunzel's past after media coverage of Bunzel's doctorate. He found the texts "disgusting", but had nothing to do with Bunzel's academic qualifications. The rector of Greifswald University, Hannelore Weber , was appalled by the award of the doctoral degree to Bunzel. But there is no way to prevent this.

Bodybuilding

In November 2018 Bunzel won the International East German Bodybuilding Championship of the National Athletic Committee (NAC) in Berlin in the "Newcomer" and "Athletics I" classes, and he was also the overall winner of the athletic classes. At the International German Championship of the NAC in the same year he finished 6th in the "Athletics I" class.
