Martin Mußgnug (born February 11, 1936 in Heidelberg , † February 2, 1997 in Tuttlingen , according to other information in Singen (Hohentwiel) ) was a German politician of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD).

Life

Martin Mußgnug's father was Hans Mußgnug , an adjunct professor of surgery at the University of Heidelberg from 1944 to 1945, NSDAP member from 1937 and SA troop leader .

Mußgnug attended elementary school in Heidelberg and the humanistic grammar school in Schweinfurt . From 1954 he studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . After the first state examination, he worked as a trainee lawyer in the district of the Mannheim Regional Court . In 1963 he settled in Tuttlingen as a lawyer .

While studying, Mußgnug and Peter Stöckicht founded the 1963 Association of National Students on June 17, 1956 . In 1958 he joined the German Reich Party (DRP), in 1962 he became deputy district chairman of the DRP for the district of Heidelberg . Since the founding of the NPD in November 1964, Mußgnug became deputy and in 1968 state chairman of the NPD Baden-Württemberg . In 1970 he became deputy federal chairman and one year later, as the successor to Adolf von Thadden , whose national-conservative course he supported, federal chairman of the NPD. In the state election in Baden-Württemberg 1968 Mussgnug for the constituency 65 (was Reutlingen ) in the Diet of Baden-Württemberg chosen which he belonged to 1972nd The historian Lutz Niethammer counted Mußgnug in 1969 to the "Young Guard" of the NPD parliamentary group, which had largely determined the aggressive behavior of the NPD in the state parliament. In his state parliament speeches, Mußgnug “only dealt with the existence and success of the NPD”.

In his place of residence, Tuttlingen, Mußgnug ran for mayor election in 1987 against incumbent Heinz-Jürgen Koloczek ( CDU ) and received the second-best result after Koloczek with 15% of the votes. In the local elections in 1984, the NPD missed out on entry into the Tuttlingen municipal council with 2.7% of the votes; in 1989, with 9.3% of the votes, it succeeded in entering the municipal council in parliamentary groups; Martin Mußgnug and two other people represented the NPD in the local parliament from then on. Mußgnug was a member of the local council until his death and was also a member of the Tuttlingen district council from 1989 to 1994 .

In 1991 he was replaced as federal chairman by Günter Deckert , who had run against him several times in vain and took a more action-oriented course, something that the more bourgeois must have always rejected. After being voted out of office, Mußgnug left the NPD and took part in the founding of the " German League for People and Homeland " (DLVH), which he tried to turn into a collecting tank for disappointed rights, but which failed. He died of a heart attack at the age of 60 .
