from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Training and war

Pöhlmann attended elementary school in Rotthalmünster and the grammar school in Regensburg , at the same time he was also a boarding school student of the Protestant alumni in Regensburg. In the military service with the mountain troops he was deployed in Innsbruck , on the Murmansk Front in northern Finland , in the western Alps and in central Italy , most recently as a lieutenant and battalion adjutant. After the end of the war he was a prisoner of war in France until November 1945 . Pöhlmann was a member of the NSDAP .

After the summer semester 1946 at the philosophical and theological Regensburg University he moved to the University of Erlangen , where he studied law and on 15 December 1951, his work concept and essence of the German Civil Service and civil service in the United States of America of the doctorate was .

National Democratic Party of Germany

Pöhlmann belonged to the Bavarian state parliament for the constituency of Upper Bavaria from 1966 to 1970 and was during this time parliamentary group chairman of the NPD and (from December 15, 1966) a member of the council of elders and the committee for constitutional, legal and municipal issues. For a short time (from October 1, 1970 until he left parliament) he was also a member of the interim committee .

In the NPD, Pöhlmann was one of the most important rivals of Federal Chairman Adolf von Thadden . As state chairman, he attacked Thadden in 1971 because of his too legalistic course, which, according to Pöhlmann, had caused the NPD's falling popularity. At the Holzminden party congress of the NPD in 1971, Pöhlmann was defeated by Martin Mußgnug , whom Thadden, who had recently resigned, had proposed as the new chairman. Pöhlmann then left the NPD with his wing.

Action New Rights

Together with hundreds of his supporters, mainly from the NPD Bavaria and the “people's socialist” circle around Friedhelm Busses Labor Party (PdA), Pöhlmann founded the New Rights Campaign (ANR) on January 9, 1972 .

Also in January 1972 Pöhlmann joined the Freedom Council, founded in 1972, an alliance initiative by Gerhard Frey and Alfred E. Manke , which aimed to protest against the upcoming ratification of the Moscow and Warsaw Treaties by the German Bundestag ; Here, however, differences within the national camp became apparent, since national revolutionary and neo-Nazi forces, both inside and outside the ANR, rejected Pöhlmann's participation and instead held their own demonstrations against the Eastern Treaty with the Independent Workers' Party (UAP) and the Blue Eagle Youth under leadership organized by Wolfgang Strauss .

Both through its name and through the participation of the PdA, the ANR exerted a magnetic effect on national revolutionary and new right forces such as the UAP, the Sababurg round around Lothar Penz and the newspaper Junge Forum , the group around Sven Thomas Frank in Berlin as well as the "National Center 1871" and the so-called National Revolutionary Base Groups from various university locations. Even Henning Eichberg's text of the founding declaration of the ANR was held in a decidedly "anitiimperialistischen", "national-revolutionary" and "socialist" style. This political direction, however, contradicted the intentions of Pöhlmann, who had the ANR periodical Law and Order published by FZ-Verlag Freys . The “young right” were very agile, but in the minority in the ANR (especially after the PdA split off from the ANR in 1973); In the dispute with Pöhlmann, the ANR disintegrated in 1974, and as a successor to the national revolutionary organization, it became the “National Revolutionary Organizational Organization” or, under Eichberg's influence, the “People's cause / NRAO”.
