Reinhard Wnendt (* 1949 in Plettenberg ) is the former deputy state chairman of the party The Republicans and is currently active in the alternative for Germany .

Political career

In 1989, a local republican club was founded in Wnendt's hometown of Plettenberg, and he chaired it until he left the party. In 1993, according to the party's annual report , Wnendt was one of the party's largest donors with over DM 88,000.

At the beginning of the 1990s, North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Minister Herbert Schnoor justified the surveillance of the Republicans by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution with, among other things, Wnendt's racist agitation. The REP state association argued that Wnendt's "rabble" was "local excesses" for which the state party was not responsible - although Wnendt had recently been elected to the republican state executive. Wnendt's statements were highlighted in the Verfassungsschutz report as indicative of the “xenophobic agitation of the REP”. Wnendt spoke during the debate about civil war refugees from the former Yugoslavia that, it could not be said "different peoples could in multicultural mishmash together without causing riots" Anyone who plays down the problems of mass immigration, wearing the " umvolkung " in Germany at. From the summer of 1997, Wnendt also operated three “info telephones” as deputy state chairman, in which “strangers were hounded in a defamatory manner”.

Wnendt was an opponent of the North Rhine-Westphalian state chairman Rolf Schlierer and repeatedly spoke out in the state executive committee for the repeal of the delimitation decisions to other right-wing extremist organizations. In June 1998 Wnendt was deposed as deputy state chairman and resigned from the party in the same year. After leaving, Wnendt called on one of his “info telephones” for the Republicans to be continuously monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution because of “intra-party anti-democratic tendencies”.

At the beginning of 2000 it became known that Wnendt had registered several domains with extremist references, including rechtsradikalismus.de, heinrich-himmler.de, rudolf-hess.de or Rechtses-infotelefon.de.

In 2014, a communal branch of the AfD was founded in Wnendt's hometown of Plettenberg. According to the local press, Wnendt is considered the spiritus rector of the local party.
