Nadir.org is an internet portal based in Hamburg . It sees itself as “an information system on left politics and social movements on the Internet”. It is one of the oldest and most important Internet sites used by left groups and initiatives. New entries have been largely discontinued since 2006, and a manifest against data retention was published in October 2008. It was gradually replaced by the open information platform indymedia . Topics included anti-fascism , anti-racism and work against sexism .

In particular, the journals Radikal Zeiten , the Rote Hilfe Zeitung , Gegenruck , ZECK and Interim were kept electronically available.

The Hamburg information group put the portal online in 1994 . The portal is now operated by the Nadir.org eV association, which is also responsible for media law.

The name of the portal was based on a misinformation about the astronomical term nadir - the point on the celestial sphere opposite the zenith or its direction - as a more general "point to which a central perspective approaches at an infinitely far distance" or a "vanishing point in the Infinity".
