Manfred Börm (* 1950 in Süderzollhaus, Janneby ) is a German building contractor from Handorf near Lüneburg and a member of the national board of the NPD and head of the security department. He is considered to be the central figure of the neo-Nazi structures in the Lüneburg area.

Party career

Börm was already active in the right-wing extremist scene in the early 1970s and took part in actions by the right-wing terrorist underground organization " Wehrsportgruppe Werwolf ". As a “ Gauleiter ” in Lower Saxony, he led the Wiking youth until they were banned in 1994. At this time he was close friends with the self-proclaimed "leader of the movement" Michael Kühnen .

In 1998 Börm became active in the NPD and quickly rose to the party's state and national executive board.

He heads the NPD's own "Ordnungsdienst" (OD).

Organizer and leader of right-wing extremist marches

The Lüneburg NPD member and functionary in the state board of the Lower Saxony NPD Manfred Börm appeared several times as the main organizer and assembly leader of right-wing extremist events and marches. B. four times between June 1998 and November 2003 in Lüneburg.

For several years, Börm has been leading a police force that is supposed to secure NPD party events and rallies nationwide. These people were more likely to attack counter-demonstrators and journalists, which also led to investigations into dangerous bodily harm. In 2002 he led the steward service for the first time at the Rudolf Heß memorial march in Wunsiedel, Bavaria, in 2004 at the “ Press Festival of the German Voice ” in Mücka, East Saxony, and in 2005 at the right-wing extremist “commemoration” of the victims of the air raids on Dresden .

Investigations and convictions

At the end of the 1970s, Börm was involved in an attack on a bivouac by Dutch NATO troops in Bergen-Hohne and was sentenced to seven years in prison in 1979 in the " Bückeburg Trial ". Participation in a neo-Nazi terrorist organization could not be proven; Börm was not actively involved in several other attacks carried out by the association (including a bank and a weapons depot).

At an election event on December 4, 2004 in Steinburg near Itzehoe (Schleswig-Holstein), leading NPD officials attacked counter-demonstrators, threw stones at them and beat them. On the television recordings of the political magazine Panorama , Manfred Börm and Ingo Stawitz , the NPD candidate for the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein, can be seen throwing stones and the NPD state chairman in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Stefan Köster, looking at a woman lying on the ground entry. The public prosecutor's office in Itzehoe started investigations against six NPD functionaries, including Köster, Börm and Stawitz, as well as several unknown persons for serious bodily harm .

Blackmail charges

In February 2009 Gesine Hennrich, the former chairwoman of the NPD association Marzahn-Hellersdorf , accused Manfred Börm and the NPD regional leader Jörg Hähnel of having blackmailed her into resigning from all party offices by threatening to publish pornographic pictures of her. Börm denied these allegations.
