Fatalities of right-wing extremist violence in the Federal Republic of Germany

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Memorial to the Solingen assassination attempt , May 29, 1993

There have been fatalities from right-wing extremist violence since the Federal Republic of Germany was founded . Right-wing violence was publicly discussed in Germany from the 1980s . Since reunification in 1990, right-wing extremist attacks against immigrants , especially repatriates and ethnic repatriates , emigrants , asylum seekers and people of Turkish origin in Germany have increased considerably. It was only after a few assassination attempts that the number of these attacks and their victims began to be recorded. These acts were now recognized, recorded and researched more strongly as a problem for society as a whole, and no longer just as a marginal phenomenon.

The recording criteria and the total number of these fatalities since 1990 are controversial. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) registered " hate crime ", including racist crimes against foreigners, the disabled, homosexuals and the homeless, not previously as state security offenses. The "system of definitions of politically motivated crime " introduced in 2001 is still more narrowly defined than in other countries and continues to be criticized by initiatives against right-wing extremism in Germany .

The federal government recognized only 83 murders as right-wing extremists by 2018. The Tagesspiegel and the editorial team of Zeit Online determined, however, that at least 169 people have been killed for right-wing extremist motives since 1990. After some follow-up investigations, the federal government recognized 94 killings as right-wing extremists. The criminologist Tobias Singelnstein held the actual number of victims in June 2019 to be twice as high. The Amadeu Antonio Foundation (AAS) currently (February 2020) counts 208 fatalities from right-wing extremist violence and also refers to at least twelve suspected cases.

Fatalities before 1990

From 1949 to 1990, victims of right-wing extremist violence were not recorded uniformly by the media or state authorities. One therefore reckons with a high number of unreported deaths. Approaches to right- wing terrorism in the 1980s caused a broad media response. This also brought possible deaths from neo-Nazi attacks into the public focus. Some older individual cases are also mentioned in the current discussion.

This was preceded by a hunt during which Avcı was hit near the Landwehr S-Bahn station in Hamburg's Hohenfelde district by a car with which five neo-Nazis were chasing him and his two companions when he tried to escape on a bus. The neo-Nazis then beat and kicked those who were lying on the ground so badly that he fell into a coma and later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. The right-wing extremists were caught and sentenced in 1986 to prison terms of between one and ten years. The police believed as early as January 1987 that this act of violence was “only a brief flare-up”: “The skins have withdrawn. The Avci story shocked many of them. ”In the second half of last year there were no more serious acts of violence by skinheads against foreigners.

Fatalities after reunification

Information from the federal government

  • Five victims of the Solingen arson attack

  • Silvio Meier; † November 21, 1992, Berlin

  • Marinus Schöberl; † July 23, 2002, Potzlow

  • Marwa El-Sherbini; † July 1, 2009, Dresden

In 2009, the federal government reported 46 unnamed fatalities from right-wing extremist violence since 1990. By February 2012, the figure rose to 58. This included ten murder victims of the terrorist organization National Socialist Underground (2000 to 2007). Then there were the Iraqi Kamal Kilade, who was murdered in Leipzig in October 2010, and two later reported victims in 1996 and 1999 in Saxony.

After the NSU murders (Ceska series of murders) became known , the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) issued a decree at the end of 2011 to review 3300 previously unsolved killings and attempts to find possible right-wing extremist motives. The test was the responsibility of the Joint Defense Center against Right-Wing Extremism / Right-Wing Terrorism (GAR). By the summer of 2014, the Federal Ministry of the Interior wanted to present corrected figures for the fatalities of right-wing extremist violence. On December 4, 2013, the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that the BKA and the state police authorities had discovered evidence of “possible political right-wing motivation” in 746 cases with 849 fatalities between 1990 and 2011. Among them were 137 cases of the researched "victim lists".

On July 27, 2015, the Federal Ministry of the Interior stated that since 1990, 75 people had been murdered in 69 attacks with a right-wing extremist background. This was 17 more murder victims than previously known. 15 of these were found during a joint review of old cases by the federal and state criminal authorities, and two new cases were added.

In June 2018, the federal government again corrected the information upwards. According to their statistics, 76 homicides with 83 fatalities have been recorded since 1990.

  • Amadeu Antonio Kiowa; † December 6, 1990, Eberswalde

  • Memorial plaque to the murder of Antonio in Eberswalde

Information from the Amadeu Antonio Foundation

Some media, the initiative Courage against right-wing violence , the network against Nazis , the Pro Asyl association , Cura victims ' fund and regional victim counseling centers keep their own chronicles of right-wing extremist acts of violence. The Tagesspiegel and the Frankfurter Rundschau had kept victim chronicles since 1990. The weekly newspaper Die Zeit took over and expanded it. Up to September 2010, her chronicle traced up to 156 deaths to right-wing extremist motives. The federal government had recognized only 73 of them by then. Therefore, some federal states initiated an internal review. Only Brandenburg commissioned an external research institute, the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European-Jewish Studies (MMZ), to examine older cases. The center formed an independent group of experts who gained insight into police and investigation files as well as some court judgments. The Amadeu Antonio Foundation is represented in this group and, for its part, checked the deaths it came across on the basis of state files. She criticizes the state statistics as distorted, because the BKA only includes acts for which a solid right-wing extremist perpetrator sentiment can be proven as "triggering and determining the crime". This does not adequately capture the perspective of relatives and witnesses, nor social Darwinist or racist motives of "everyday racists from the middle of society". The Amadeu Antonio Foundation's only nationwide list of fatalities brings together the information from other initiatives, is constantly updated and takes into account both acts by clear right-wing extremists and homicides "in which a social Darwinist and racist / right-wing motivation played at least a role accompanying the crime. “By mid-November 2017, she named 195 deaths (No. 0-194) and 13 suspected cases.

These are distributed over the individual years as follows:

Just like non-governmental victim protection initiatives, they assume a high number of unreported deaths, particularly among unreported people, such as illegal immigrants and the homeless.

Murders with controversial motives

Various media reported on other homicides likely by right-wing extremists. Some of these had been the subject of parliamentary inquiries since the 1990s, but were not included in the federal statistics because other motives were assumed.
