In 1983 he was arrested with other WJ members while attempting to detonate them with a pipe bomb, and weapons were found in his apartment. In the FAP he acted as deputy state chairman. After the FAP was banned, the publishing clerk became one of the best-known activists in the free camaraderie scene . At demonstrations he appears nationwide as a speaker and sometimes also as a registrant, for example against the Wehrmacht exhibition . At events of the Heimattreuen German Youth (HDJ), Ralph Tegethoff gave lectures to children and young people about Major General Remer and his military readiness and deep faith in Germany until May 8, 1945 and the national movement in the FRG ("Flying Sparks" 2004).

On September 11, 2004, Tegethoff joined the NPD together with Thorsten Heise and Thomas Wulff . Wulff and Tegethoff withdrew their applications for election to the party's federal executive committee in favor of Heise shortly afterwards. For the state election of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2005, Tegethoff ran for the NPD as a direct candidate in the state electoral district of Düsseldorf I and ranked 13th on the state list.
