Life

Winckler studied journalism , political science as well as medieval and modern history at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz with a Magister Artium degree and received his PhD in 2010 from Frank-Lothar Kroll at the Technical University of Chemnitz with a Gerhard Löwenthal dissertation . A contribution to the political journalism of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Dr. phil. PhD.

Winckler was a member of the board of the Weikersheim Study Center during the presidency of Bernhard Friedmann and Bernhard von Diemer from 2003 to 2010. He wrote for the new right magazines Junge Freiheit and Gegengift . He is a book author for Leopold Stocker Verlag . After graduating, Winckler first dealt with political science and current political issues.

Positions

In the anthology, Winkler called for a change of course : “Willy Brandt's slogan 'We want to dare more democracy' should become the motto of the political class (...): Referendums and referendums at local level and in the countries, plebiscites on carefully selected future issues of particular importance , the accumulation and diversification of election lists on all levels. Party statutes should contain the separation of state and party office and limitation to a few offices per person "

Together with Hans-Helmuth Knütter , he was the editor of an anthology in 2000 on the authorities for the protection of the constitution. In it he praised the protection of the constitution as very meritorious in the past and present, but criticized the increasing one-sidedness of the constitution protection publications. In particular, the constitution protection in North Rhine-Westphalia assigned conservative democrats to right-wing extremism in the 1990s.

Winckler commented on right-wing extremism: “ On September 19, 2004, the NPD and the DVU - two parties that protested and were completely incapable of realizing, even future-oriented approaches - entered the state parliaments of Saxony and Brandenburg. The result is no 'people-oriented' politics, but a polarization of the political climate. Parliamentary decisions are made more difficult, the concerns of the citizens take a back seat in favor of anti-fascist attempts to raise their profile by all other parliamentary groups. Worse still: violence up to street battles is to be expected where anti-fascists and NPD supporters collide, not to mention the damage to the reputation of the corresponding 'strongholds'. "Winckler advocates an anti-totalitarian stance, which he believes for the early Federal Republic and the western world was characteristic for a long time and therefore favors as "outstanding minds" Konrad Adenauer , Ludwig Erhard , Theodor Heuss and Carlo Schmid as well as the journalists Johannes Gross ("Gross [...] showed himself to be less national than strictly liberal and anti- egalitarian oriented, as an astute critic of new left ideas [...]) and above all Gerhard Löwenthal .

In a conversation with Bernd Kallina for the Burschenschaftliche Blätter he was of the opinion that the “democratic rights” were being “marginalized” and “ discredited” by “a kind of preventive denunciation ” , because “the demon of the 68 movement has the self-assertiveness of the Germans Age of globalization not strengthened, but substantially weakened. ” Winckler is co-editor of a commemorative publication for Klaus Hornung , which according to the net against Nazis is a “ Who's Who of the New Right ” . He wrote a contribution to the book “What the Protection of the Constitution keeps secret” that was published by Schüßlburner and Knütter in the publishing house of the “ Institute for State Policy ”. In addition to Winckler's contribution, the book contained contributions by Judith Wolter and Gisa Pahl , lawyers from the right-wing extremist scene.

Stefan Winckler has been a member of the OMCT Knights Templar since 2008 .
