Sascha Krolzig as a speaker at a neo-Nazi rally on November 19, 2005 in Cologne

Sascha Marcel Krolzig (born June 8, 1987 in Hamm ) is a neo-Nazi who is active as a right-wing extremist politician ( Dierechte ) and an activist in the free comradeship scene in North Rhine-Westphalia . He also appears nationwide as a registrant and speaker at right-wing extremist rallies.

Political activities

Sascha Krolzig was a leading member of the "Kameradschaft Hamm" (KS Hamm), one of the most active neo-Nazi "Free Comradeships" in North Rhine-Westphalia until it was banned in August 2012. He was responsible for press law for KS Hamm flyers.

Since 2004 Krolzig has appeared frequently as registrant and speaker at right-wing extremist rallies, for the first time on January 21, 2004 in Hamm. At the numerous demonstrations that followed, he appeared with Siegfried Borchardt , Ursula Haverbeck , Axel Reitz , Christian Worch and Thomas Wulff, among others .

He joined the Kampfbund Deutscher Sozialisten in January 2007 and was "Regional Commissioner West" until its dissolution in July 2008.

In September 2012, he was appointed to the board of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional organization of the party 's rights elected, he also acts in its national board as assessor. He is also chairman of the Hamm district association of Dierechte .

In 2019, Krolzig announced on Twitter that the right was "the only consistently anti-Israel party on the ballot" and published posts under the hashtag "niewiederIsrael".

Convictions

Sascha Krolzig was repeatedly convicted of criminal offenses in the course of his life . On June 19, 2004, at the age of 17, Krolzig gave a speech at a rally of the right-wing extremist scene in Dortmund . Because he had expressed himself disparagingly about "numerous groups in society, including gypsies, Jews, negroes, homosexuals" (according to the judging district court), he was sentenced to one week of permanent arrest under the Juvenile Court Act for inciting people .

On January 6, 2005, Sascha Krolzig hit a 16-year-old twice in the face. Between February 17 and 24, 2005, he served the one-week permanent arrest imposed on him for sedition . On March 14, 2005, Krolzig ended a speech at another scene rally in Dortmund with the slogan “Everything for Germany!”. This is the slogan of the former " Sturmabteilung " (SA) of the NSDAP . As a result, Krolzig was sentenced on February 1, 2006 to a six-month youth penalty without parole for assault to the detriment of 16-year-olds as well as for using symbols of unconstitutional organizations in the form of the SA slogan . The Hamm District Court justified its judgment by stating that the "accused was so attached to National Socialist ideas" that "even a long-term arrest that had been served could not prevent him from committing further acts". Krolzig had also "made it clear through corresponding remarks in the main hearing that he will continue to be strongly committed to the ideas he represents and will also appear publicly, so that repetitions of such or similar acts can be expected". A leap revision by Krolzig before the Hamm Higher Regional Court was rejected in February 2006. On May 24, 2006, the Federal Constitutional Court did not accept a constitutional complaint that Krolzig had brought against the conviction for decision, so that he had to serve the sentence.

On October 28, 2013, Krolzig was sentenced to three months imprisonment in an appeal hearing before the Bückeburg Regional Court for insult, which was suspended for three years. The background to this is an incident in the area of ​​the right-wing extremist “funeral march” that took place on August 4, 2012 in Bad Nenndorf , during which there is said to have been an argument between Krolzig and a dark-skinned police officer. The official was racially insulted by Krolzig. Krolzig had already been sentenced to a fine in the first instance before the Stadthagen district court . The judgment is final.

On December 9, 2016, Krolzig was provisionally arrested again because he and an acquaintance in downtown Dortmund were said to have insulted a person in a xenophobic manner and hit her with a glass in the face. An investigation was initiated against Krolzig on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm, resistance to law enforcement officers and insult. The incident is particularly explosive for Krolzig, as his probation period from the judgment of October 28, 2016 had started around three weeks before the incident and Krolzig can expect a heavy prison sentence if convicted.

On February 22, 2018, Krolzig was sentenced to six months' imprisonment without probation by the Bielefeld District Court for sedition and insult. The background is that Krolzig had described the chairman of the Jewish community in Herford / Detmold as a “smug, cheeky Jewish functionary” in an online report. After the Bielefeld public prosecutor's office had initially closed the preliminary investigation, the proceedings were resumed at the Hamm Higher Regional Court and Krolzig was charged with a legal complaint by the chairman of the Jewish community in Herford / Detmold . The act occurred during Krolzig's current probationary period from a previous conviction. Krolzig is therefore considered a failed probationer, whose suspended prison sentence from the previous conviction is now revoked and additionally enforced. Krolzig's appeal against this conviction was rejected by the Bielefeld Regional Court in October 2019.

Since Krolzig lodged a complaint with the BVerfG, the judgment did not become final until July 7, 2020, with the decision 1 BvR 479/20 not to accept the complaint. Here the court referred to the connection between the offense of expression. The Federal Constitutional Court thus confirmed the ruling of the Bielefeld Regional Court and the prison sentence for Krolzig. It saw the offense of hatred of the people fulfilled, since the derogatory term "cheeky Jew" was a choice of words that the National Socialists would have used. Those who adopt such terms incite hatred against the Jewish population.

Others

Krolzig studied law at Bielefeld University (2009 to 2014). From February 4 to March 15, 2013, Krolzig completed a legal internship in the municipal administration of the city of Werther (Westphalia) , apparently without the city of Krolzig's political background being known. In August 2015, the Münster Higher Administrative Court ruled that Krolzig was not allowed to start the legal traineeship and that the second state examination was therefore barred. This was justified, among other things, with his numerous previous convictions. The verdict was confirmed again in February 2016, because Krolzig was "unworthy and unsuitable in character" for a training course that qualifies the judge. As an alternative professional activity, Krolzig has been appearing as a "freelance speaker and ceremonial leader" since September 2016. He trades under his middle name "Marcel" Krolzig.
