Life

Proudly studied psychology in Cologne and Tübingen and graduated with a diploma. He was an activist in the student movement and was one of the co-editors of the German-Turkish magazine Arbeiter-Tatsachen . Until 2009 he worked as a psychologist in industry.

According to his own statements, Stolz was active in the SDS since 1967 and in the KPD / ML from 1969 to 1970 . In 1980 he was one of the founding members of the Greens in Germany and was a member of the federal executive committee in 1980 and 1981. At the Federal Assembly from 22./23. March 1980 he was elected secretary . Since 1984, Stolz was the spokesman for the Left Germany Discussion initiative group, which was politically active until 1990 . From 1990 to 1998 he was deputy chairman of the Peace Committee 2000 for Demilitarization, Troop Withdrawal and Self-Determination initiated by Alfred Mechtersheimer , which he left in 1998 in protest against the collaboration with far-right parties that Mechtersheimer had started.

From 2003 to 2013 Stolz was a regular columnist for the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit and one of its regular authors since the monthly magazine Compact was founded in 2011. In the German Language Association , Stolz heads the working group “Alliance 90 / The Greens for Clear German”.

Proud lives in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid.

Political positions

In an interview with Junge Freiheit, he describes his political position as follows: “As a dissident leftist, I've been between the two fronts for years. “He deals critically with the issues of immigration and“ refusal to integrate ”. So he advocates an “action alliance against Islamism” and calls for the influence of Islamism in Germany to be suppressed. In addition to approval (such as by Arnulf Baring and Ralph Giordano ), this also earned him criticism such as accusations of xenophobia and Islamophobia . Rolf Stolz has repeatedly given speeches at the right-wing extremist Munich fraternity Danubia and at district associations of the AfD. In his speeches there, Stolz referred to the “Antifa” as “fascistoid” and warned against “foreign infiltration” of Germany by immigrants. In 2019 he initiated an appeal “Against hatred and violence, for a culture of debate”, which called for a different approach to the AfD.
