Norman Kempken

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norman Kempken (* 1968 in Rüsselsheim ) is a German neo-Nazi and active in the right-wing extremist small party Der III. Way . He is considered one of the most important comradeship activists of the right-wing extremist scene in Bavaria and was one of the central actors in the neo-Nazi umbrella organization Free Network South (FNS), which was banned in 2014. The 2014 annual report of the Bavarian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution lists Kempken as one of the key figures in the neo-Nazi scene in the Nuremberg / Fürth metropolitan region .

Life

Kempken began his activities in the neo-Nazi scene in the mid-1980s, including in the German Action Party / movement of total order. He was also active on the Taunus Front. Before the founding of the FNS, Kempken took part in the marches of the Frankish Action Front (FAF) and the NPD, which were banned in 2004 . For many years he was active in the aid organization for national political prisoners and their relatives (HNG) until it was banned in 2011 , where he was closely associated with the former HNG chairwoman Ursula Müller and was considered her “foster son”. Kempken wrote regularly in the monthly news issue of the HNG and looked after the prisoners of convicted neo-Nazis.

In addition, Norman Kempken played a key role in the 1992 “ Anti-Antifa ” publication Der Insight . In the publication, more than 250 anti-fascists were published, some with name, picture and address, combined with the call to “prepare these restless nights” and “finally turn them off”. At that time, the Federal Prosecutor's Office took over the investigation and initiated proceedings against those responsible for the “ formation of a criminal organization ”, which was later discontinued. The juvenile court in Groß-Gerau sentenced the makers of the insight to "mostly mild sentences" in 1995 ; Kempken received a prison sentence on probation .

In addition to the neo-Nazi Matthias Fischer , Kempken was one of the key players in the Free Network South (FNS), a substitute organization of the Franconian Action Front (FAF) that existed from 2009 until the ban in July 2014. Kempken regularly reported the FNS marches, such as the march in Plauen in Saxony on May 1, 2014.

Since the FNS was banned, mainly southern German nationalists have organized themselves in the neo-Nazi party Der III. Away, so does Norman Kempken. He is also active in the violent hooligan scene.

Norman Kempken has lived in Nuremberg since 1994 .
