National Democratic University Association

The National Democratic University Association (NHB) was a right-wing extremist student organization and the student association of the National Democratic Party of Germany .

history

In November 1966, the first NHB groups were created at the universities in Heidelberg , Tübingen , Freiburg and Erlangen . The formal establishment as an all-German student association took place in 1967 in Tübingen .

Despite its formal independence, the NHB had a very close relationship with the NPD (see NHB logo: the NPD arrow). After its decline at the beginning of the 1970s, the NHB no longer took part in normal university politics, i.e. it did not take part in university elections, but limited itself to issuing its publications ( NHB Report 1987 discontinued, from October 1990 Vorderste Front with the subtitle magazine for political Theory and strategy in which the battle term national liberated zone was first used). The NHB had the highest number of members in the sixties. In 1970 there were still 260 followers in 19 groups. In 1972 the Federal Assembly decided to also accept non-NPD members. The NHB has had no university groups since 1990 ( Verfassungsschutz Report 1994, p. 152).
