Uwe Leichsenring
Uwe Leichsenring (born March 23, 1967 in Sebnitz ; † August 30, 2006 near Pirna ) was a German politician ( NPD ) and from 2004 until his death the parliamentary manager of the NPD parliamentary group in Saxony .
Life
After completing an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer, Uwe Leichsenring began studying pedagogy and psychology at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig in the GDR , but left the university without a degree and became a driving instructor. After working at a driving school from 1991 to 2000, he became a self-employed driving instructor in 2000 . He had a child with his partner.
Uwe Leichsenring died on August 30, 2006 in a traffic accident on the federal highway 172 near Pirna in Saxon Switzerland, when, according to the police, he collided head-on with an oncoming truck during an overtaking maneuver. He died of serious injuries at the scene of the accident.
Political career
In 1990 Leichsenring joined the NPD and was deputy NPD state chairman in Saxony between 1990 and 1991. From 1991 until his death he was managing director of the NPD district association Saxon Switzerland. From 2002 to 2004 he was a member of the NPD party executive. Since 1999, he has been chairman of the NPD parliamentary group in the Königstein city council , where he has held various functions in several municipal committees. Since 2004 he has been deputy parliamentary group leader in the district council of Saxon Switzerland .
Observers of the right-wing extremist scene in the Saxon Switzerland district suspect that his professional activity as the owner of the only driving school in Königstein enabled him to exert influence on previously politically impartial young people in the place. This would correspond to the strategy of the NPD in recent years to subvert existing social structures at the local level.
In addition, Leichsenring had connections to the violent right-wing extremist comradeship skinheads Saxon Switzerland, at least until the time of their ban in 2001.
Since 2004 he was also a member of the Saxon state parliament and a member of several state parliament committees. Together with the NPD parliamentary group, Leichsenring caused several scandal in the Saxon state parliament.
On January 21, 2005, Leichsenring left the plenary session of the state parliament together with the NPD parliamentary group, refusing a minute's silence for the victims of National Socialist terror, based on the fact that there was no such thing for the victims of the “Allied bombing terror”.
On May 11, 2006, he was excluded from all sessions of the state parliament for three days on suspicion of inciting speech after he had spoken of "special trains" that are used on some days in a debate on "Left violence on May 1st" If you wanted to take every left-wing extremist offender like the two Potsdam suspects in the case of Ermyas Mulugeta . After an interjection from Linkspartei.PDS parliamentary group leader Peter Porsch , pointing out that there had been special trains before, Leichsenring replied that they sometimes wanted them again. The right-wing extremist politician's statement was interpreted as an endorsement and approval of the deportation trains to the Nazi concentration camps . Leichsenring, on the other hand, later stated that he had spoken of special trains that the police had repeatedly used in the past in unpeaceful demonstrations. When he heard the word “special train” he had absolutely no association with the Nazi regime.
On May 30, 2006, the Constitutional Court of the Free State of Saxony issued an interim injunction against the President of the Saxon State Parliament, Leichsenring, at the plenary session of the Saxon State Parliament on June 21, 2006 as well as the meetings of the committees of which he was a member, to allow. The decision in the main proceedings should be issued one day after his accidental death. At the end of September, the case was dropped because of the death of the applicant.
In mid-May 2006, Leichsenring was quoted as follows in the Plauener Vogtland-Anzeiger : “ The Third Reich was a feel-good dictatorship with 95 percent approval .” Leichsenring said: “ I have declared that the 'Third Reich' is a closed historical epoch for me. Evaluations of this time should be made by those who understand something about it, especially historians, of course. A well-known representative of his field, Götz Aly , who came from the 1968 movement , described National Socialism as a 'feel-good dictatorship' in his highly acclaimed book 'Hitler's People's State'. This is what I said in an interview with the 'Vogtland-Anzeiger'. “In the same interview he described violence by skinheads against strangers and those who think differently as“ pubescent masculinity ”. Regarding the systematic extermination of the Jews during the Nazi dictatorship, the deputy NPD parliamentary group leader told the newspaper that he had no opinion.
After his accidental death, René Despang took his place as an NPD member of the Saxon state parliament. Johannes Müller became the new parliamentary managing director .
