music
Hammer had been the front singer of the Stuttgart band Noiewerte since 1988 , whose members also included the later NPD state chairman Michael Wendland from Baden-Württemberg . At the end of 2010 the band announced their breakup.
In 1991, Hammer first met Briton Ian Stuart Donaldson , singer of the neo-Nazi skinhead cult band Skrewdriver and founder of Blood and Honor . Hammer boasted that he had performed alongside Donaldson's band while he was still alive.
The terrorist cell National Socialist Underground used for the production of their video songs of Noie values album force for Germany , which from the 1992 federal inspection station for youth-endangering writings had been indexed because it "appeals to violence and racial hatred and represents immanent Nazi Ideengut" content aloud justification .
Lawyer
Hammer's law firm specializes in internet decisions. According to the company, tenancy , inheritance and labor law are further focal points of its own legal work. Occasionally, Hammer also represents members from the right-wing extremist scene. Together with his lawyer colleague Alexander Heinig , singer and bassist of the right-wing rock band ultima ratio , Hammer defended the Karlsruhe neo-Nazis Andreas E., Jörg M. and Martin S., who had to answer in court because they used the slogan “Glory and honor of the Waffen-SS ”had spread. Janus Nowak , who, as the national managing director of the NPD, was guilty of forging votes and documents, was also one of Hammer's clients.
Hammer worked with Alexander Heinig and the CDU member Klaus Harsch in the law firm H3. At the end of 2011, when a NSU video was made public by the Federal Public Prosecutor, in which hammer was positively referred to, the latter left the firm and dismissed his lawyer Nicole Schneiders , who also provided legal assistance to Ralf Wohlleben .
The attempt to exclude Steffen Hammer from the legal profession because lawyers “have to prove themselves worthy of their position” failed in 2003. Since an initial suspicion of incitement to hatred or incitement to violence was not confirmed, the Tübingen public prosecutor did not initiate an investigation. In terms of professional law, according to the ruling, it was not relevant that Noie values had been classified as right-wing extremists by the protection of the constitution.
Nicole Schneiders and Hammer have been partners in the law firm Hammer & Schneiders based in Reutlingen since January 2018 .
