Life

Michael Stürzenberger was born in Bad Kissingen in 1964. From 1984 to 1988 he studied political science and history at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , but did not graduate and then worked as a journalist .

2003 to 2004 Stürzenberger was press spokesman for the Munich CSU under Monika Hohlmeier . As a defining event, Stürzenberger cites the death of his then party friend Ralph Burkei in the Islamist terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008 . In 2011 he resigned from the CSU, anticipating a party expulsion.

In the same year he was first elected as an assessor in the Bavarian state executive committee of the party "Freedom" . In an article for Politically Incorrect -News, Stürzenberger later demanded that Muslims who did not renounce their faith should be forced to leave the country. The Bavarian Association then removed him from his position in the state executive committee and as press spokesman, because he had violated the party principle of freedom of belief .

In December 2011 he was elected to the federal executive committee. Due to his radical Islamophobic attitude, his election led to the resignation and resignation of several state boards and many members. In 2013 he was elected deputy federal chairman of the party. Stürzenberger is also considered to be the leading head of the Munich branch of Politically Incorrect , which is classified as unconstitutional by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior . In December 2013 he was elected national chairman of the party to succeed René Stadtkewitz .

Political activities

Petition against the ZIE-M

Stürzenberger collecting signatures (2013)

Since October 2011, Stürzenberger has been campaigning for a referendum against the Center for Islam in Europe (ZIE-M) , a mosque proposed by the Macedonian Imam Benjamin Idriz with an attached Islamic center in Munich. Current accounts , through which Stürzenberger collected donations for the citizens' initiative, were canceled by the Stadtsparkasse München and the Münchner Bank, among others . The Münchner Bank justified this step with the fact that Stürzenberger's actions violated the cooperative principles of the institute and did not want to be mentioned in the same breath with actions that violate human dignity and threaten the peaceful coexistence of people of different origins.
In September 2014, Stürzenberger submitted more than 60,000 signatures for the referendum to the district administration office in Munich . Although he had collected more than the 32,736 necessary signatures, the board of directors of the state capital of Munich considered the petition to be inadmissible. In the opinion of the city, the persons authorized to represent were not sufficiently identifiable and the will of the citizens would be falsified due to several inaccurate factual assertions in the grounds. Furthermore, the question was vague and would have violated freedom of belief . The Munich city council declared the referendum to be inadmissible for these reasons. In November 2015 , the Munich Administrative Court dismissed Stürzenberger's action against this decision .
In May 2016, Stürzenberger began again to collect signatures for a petition against the Islamic center planned by Idriz. However, the plans for the center had to be abandoned at the end of June of the same year due to a lack of funds.

Participation in elections

Stürzenberger stood for Die Freiheit as the top candidate in the state elections in Bavaria in 2013 . His party received 5,979 second votes and received 0.1% of the vote. As a direct candidate in the Munich-Bogenhausen constituency , Stürzenberger received 0.4% of the first votes. Stürzenberger ran unsuccessfully in the 2014 municipal elections in Munich for the city council and the office of mayor after he was able to collect the necessary support signatures. His candidacy was supported by the Republicans and the “ Citizens' Movement for Munich , which had not put up a candidate itself. Freedom missed out on entry into the Munich city council with 0.6%, while Stürzenberger received 0.5% of the vote in the election for mayor.

Participation in other activities

In mid-November 2014, Stürzenberger appeared as a speaker at the second rally of the group of hooligans against Salafists in Hanover . He warned against what he believed was an Islamization of Germany and held up the Koran while participants chanted “Kindling”. Politicians of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party rate the appearance of the group, which is accused of neo-Nazism, as Stürzenberger's final step into right-wing radicalism .

At the beginning of 2015 Stürzenberger was one of the co-organizers of rallies by a Munich branch of the Dresden organization Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West . On January 12, 2015, he took part in a demonstration organized by this offshoot, alongside numerous NPD functionaries and other well-known neo-Nazis such as André Eminger , a defendant in the NSU trial , Philipp Hasselbach and two convicted accomplices of the planned attack on the Munich synagogue in 2003 . In October 2017 Stürzenberger joined the Dresdner Pegida rally to mark the third anniversary of the movement as a speaker and let burqa MAKERS with Koran come on stage. The world rated this performance as "Islamophobic Punch and Judy Theater". He spoke on November 7, 2018 in Hamburg at a “Merkel must go” rally with 72 participants. 2000 counter-demonstrators protested against the event.

On May 3, 2019, he caused a riot at a demonstration in Weimar . Stürzenberger was a participant and speaker at a demonstration by the federal " Patriots for Germany ". In the course of the demonstration he pretended to be a journalist in order to get into the area between “his” demonstration and the counter-demonstration of the “Weimar BgR” that was secured by the police. Here he recorded "interviews" with mainly underage counter-demonstrators and used targeted manipulative-suggestive questions to lead the counter-demonstrators on the ice, to expose them and to manipulate them into the belief that they actually had the same attitude as Stürzenberger. A few days later, Stürzenberger uploaded these “interviews”, which were unfavorably and manipulatively cut together for those involved, and uploaded them to YouTube without the consent of those involved. Subsequently, some Weimar citizens received hate reports and death threats. Two schoolgirls had to be escorted to and from school under police protection in the following days.

Positions

Fight against islam

In terms of content, Stürzenberger turns “almost exclusively against Islam, which for him is not a religion, but an ideology,” summed up the journalist Bernd Kastner in 2014 in the SZ . This is also reflected in his partisan work and affiliation.

The “Freedom” party was rated by the Federal Agency for Civic Education as a right-wing populist party with anti-Islamic tendencies; she classified herself as bourgeois liberal . Stürzenberger is considered Islamophobic, he describes himself as a critic of Islam . He is vehemently against the building of mosques in Germany. He accuses German politicians of not taking seriously the dangers that arise from Islam. He compares the Koran with Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf . He equates Islam with National Socialism . Stürzenberger describes National Socialism as a " left movement" and claims that there are parallels between the National Socialist persecution of political opponents and the West German " fight against the right ". With regard to Stürzenberger, Alexander Häusler and Rainer Roeser said: "Behind the right-wing criticism of Islam hides the classic extreme right-wing hostility to left ideas of justice and equality and the racist hostility to multicultural immigration societies."

refugees

In June 2015, with a view to refugees, Stürzenberger referred to "most of them" as "soldiers of fortune" who "wanted to get into the social systems here" and believed that they could "live nicely here [...] at our expense".

Relationship with Susanne Hirzel

Stürzenberger refers to Susanne Hirzel , who belonged to the White Rose , which he re-founded shortly before Hirzel's death in 2012. Like her brother Hans Hirzel, Susanne Hirzel was politically active among the Republicans at the turn of the millennium and represented historical revisionist theses. In 2010 she gave an interview to PI and was actively involved in the citizens' movement Pax Europa . The use of the White Rose name for its activities caused outrage among descendants of the group and the White Rose Foundation.

The Munich historian Detlef Bald stated in a letter to the editor in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the name “White Rose” is derived from the four leaflets so named. It did not emerge until after 1945 and was therefore subsequently transferred to the active resistance members as a group. There was never a 'White Rose' of which one became a member and in every respect contradicts the unifying spirit of these few individuals. It is therefore clear that no one today is legitimized to pass on the name 'White Rose' on their own initiative. When Michael Stürzenberger complains about a new establishment with reference to Susanne Zeller-Hirzel, he is completely beside the historical facts with regard to the circumstances at that time. It is an act of mere arbitrariness. "Regarding Hirzel's role, Bald explains:" Alexander Schmorell and Hans Scholl were solely responsible for the four 'White Rose Leaflets'. You alone were the authors who secretly wrote the texts in June and July 1942 and sent them out. Two more leaflets were issued in January and February 1943, which were distributed by this core of the resistance group in thousands from Stuttgart to Berlin and Vienna and sent by post. Since Sophie Scholl also bagged a number of leaflets from Ulm with an old friend from school, Susanne Zeller, provided them with stamps and made them ready for mailing, Susanne Zeller-Hirzel has her connection to the White Rose, which can be named in this way. "

Israel and the Holocaust

Stürzenberger describes himself as pro- Israel ; The journalist Jörg Lau criticized this self-portrayal in “Die Zeit” as “costuming”. Marian Offman, member of the board of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Munich and Upper Bavaria , considers Stürzenberger to be “anti-Jewish”, as he speaks out against slaughtering and circumcision . Statements by a former party friend who received a penalty order from the Munich District Court for sedition because he denied the Holocaust , Stürzenberger defended against the Abendzeitung by saying that he had “only addressed the issue of the debt burden” and wanted to point out its “instrumentalization” .

Relationship to the NPD

Stürzenberger praised the NPD politician and city councilor of the citizens 'initiative Ausländerstopp Karl Richter for his support of the citizens' initiative against the ZIE-M. At the Pegida protests in Munich in early 2015, Stürzenberger demonstrated with several supporters of the NPD and free comradeships . Stürzenberger claimed that he had not noticed that right-wing extremists were taking part in this demonstration and declared: "We are against any form of extremism."

Litigation

Stürzenberger's political activities, in particular collecting signatures against the ZIE-M , were repeatedly the subject of legal disputes.

Requirements for meetings

As of June 2013, the district administration department of Munich Stürzenberger, as the meeting leader of the rallies of his former party Die Freiheit, issued conditions according to which speaking time at meetings was limited to blocks of a maximum of 10 minutes, between which a break of at least 10 minutes had to be observed. Furthermore, the permissible volume of the megaphone used during speeches was restricted to 85  decibels and it was forbidden to take photographs of opposing meeting participants and bystanders without their consent. An action by Die Freiheit before the Administrative Court in Munich against these conditions failed. An appeal against this was not allowed by the Bavarian Administrative Court.

Criminal proceedings

In September 2011, Michael Stürzenberger showed a poster with a photo of the Nazi functionary Heinrich Himmler at a rally . Next to Himmler's picture there was an alleged quote from him (“Islam is very similar to our worldview”). As a result, a penalty order was issued against Stürzenberger for using symbols of unconstitutional organizations . After he had lodged an appeal against this, he was acquitted on May 13, 2013 by the Munich District Court and on October 29, 2014 by the Munich I District Court . On May 7, 2015, the Munich Higher Regional Court overturned the judgment of the lower court and referred the matter to another criminal division of the Regional Court for re-trial.

In July 2013, Stürzenberger was sentenced to a fine of 800 euros for insulting a police officer  .

In December 2013, a penal order was issued against Stürzenberger because he was said to have exceeded his speaking time a total of eight times at rallies and thus violated the requirements of the assembly. Stürzenberger appealed against opposition one.

At the beginning of October 2014 he was sentenced to a fine of 2500 euros by the Munich District Court for insulting denominations, religious societies and ideological associations . The occasion was an article by Stürzenberger on PI-News , in which he described Islam as a "cancerous tumor". On February 14, 2017, the Regional Court of Munich I acquitted him in an appeal hearing. On October 6, 2017, the Munich Higher Regional Court confirmed this judgment and thus rejected an appeal by the public prosecutor's office.

Because Stürzenberger had stated at a Pegida rally in Graz in spring 2015 that every Muslim was a potential terrorist, the Graz Regional Criminal Court sentenced him in November 2015 to a conditional imprisonment of four months and a fine of 960 for inciting and degrading religious teachings Euro.

In August 2017, Stürzenberger was sentenced to a suspended sentence of six months by the Munich District Court for using symbols of unconstitutional organizations and insulting creeds, religious societies and ideological associations. The court was convinced that Stürzenberger had described Islam as a fascist ideology on social networks and published a photo showing a man with a swastika armband. On December 8th, the district court Munich I Stürzenberger acquitted of both allegations.

On December 8, 2017, Stürzenberger was sentenced by the Duisburg District Court for sedition to a fine of 2,400 euros at 120 daily rates. Accordingly, at a Pegida event in 2015, he spoke of an "invasion" from the Islamic region, among other things. At the time of the crime, Stürzenberger already had three relevant criminal records .

In July 2019, the Fürth district court sentenced Stürzenberger to a fine of 60 daily rates of 30 euros for misuse of license plates . At a rally, Stürzenberger covered the license plate number of a motor vehicle he was using.

Observation by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution

The Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been observing or observing Stürzenberger since March 2013, the Bavarian State Association of Freedom, which he leads, and the Munich branch of Politically Incorrect, which is closely associated with him . It classifies them as extremist because their actions violate the human dignity of Muslims and threaten the peaceful coexistence of people of different origins and religions. The observation was directed in particular against Stürzenberger and a "hard core" of the regional association, which consists of about five people. In addition to Die Freiheit and PI-Munich , the state office included the citizens' movement Pax Europa in the 2013 report for the protection of the constitution , of which Stürzenberger is a member. All three groups have in common that they equate Islam across the board with Islamist terrorism and want to eradicate human rights , prohibition of discrimination and freedom of religion for Muslims and the Islamic faith communities. Liberty sued against observation by the protection of the constitution. On October 16, 2014, the Munich Administrative Court ruled that Freedom could be observed. It is also permissible to point out suspected cases that describe doubts about the party's loyalty to the constitution. However, with a representation that the party is demonstrably acting unconstitutionally, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution overshoots the mark. The Free State of Bavaria is therefore obliged to refrain from further disseminating the 2013 report for the protection of the constitution unless the passages on Freedom are removed or made illegible beforehand. In the Constitutional Protection Report of the Free State of Bavaria in 2014, Die Freiheit was no longer classified as extremist, but there were "numerous factual indications that DIE FREIHEIT Bayern pursues anti-Islamic endeavors relevant to the protection of the Constitution." The Bavarian Higher Administrative Court dismissed the Bavarian Higher Administrative Court on October 22, 2015 in the second instance.
