Resistance West
Resistance West is one of the supraregional coordination and organization offices and networking platform of the militant right-wing extremist Free Comradeships , which is active in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate .
General and history
The resistance west includes comradeships from the Ruhr area , Sauerland and Siegerland , Rhein-Sieg-Kreis and Ostwestfalen-Lippe . A particularly large number of demonstrations were organized in the Ruhr area in particular. The structures around Siegfried Borchardt ( Dortmund ) and Bernd Stehmann ( Leopoldshöhe ) also frequently take part in nationwide demonstrations and in organized and spontaneous attacks that involve physical violence against people who think differently or who appear “un-German”. The “Free Comradeships” organized in “Resistance West” operate their own homepage, under which the “Düsseldorfer Beobachter” and anti-antifa pages can be found. The Müller couple's premises are an important point of contact. Ursula Müller is the chairwoman of the aid organization for national political prisoners and their relatives (HNG) in Mainz-Gonsenheim.
The "Resistance West" maintains regular contact with Dutch neo-Nazis .

Examples of leading camaraderie
- Comradeship Aachener Land (KAL)
The KAL was an independent comradeship that emerged in 2001 from the environment of the NPD district association in Aachen and was connected to neo-Nazi ideas, which was forbidden in 2012 by NRW Interior Minister Ralf Jäger , because its "aggressive, combative attitude ... is directed against elementary principles of our constitution" .
In 2001, a dummy anthrax from its ranks was sent to the Jewish Community of Aachen. a. convicted of death threats , use of unconstitutional license plates , unofficial false testimony and assault . The hard core consists of 15 to 20 active members and maintains contacts with Belgian and Dutch neo-Nazis as well as the hooligan scene at Tivoli in Aachen .
Actions of the KAL u. a. by the neo-Nazis René Laube and Manfred Rouhs , who is now active in the Pro Köln movement. Rouhs moved from Stolberg to Dürwiß , where his apartment was called the “Brown House”. After the Viking Youth ban, camaraderie meetings and concerts were held there. After a few years, Rouhs moved away due to massive protests by the Eschweiler population and the Eschweiler city council.
Neo-Nazis from the community of the Aachener Land comradeship were repeatedly involved in serious, politically motivated crimes. For example, the neo-Nazi Daniel K., who was born in Leipzig, was active in the North Rhine-Westphalian neo-Nazi scene from 2002 to 2007, especially in the "Kameradschaft Aachener Land" (KAL). In February 2007, K. was legally sentenced to a fine for failure to provide assistance. Together with the then leader of the “Kameradschaft Aachener Land”, René L., Daniel K. did not prevent another comrade from mistreating his pregnant girlfriend. In June 2007, the Aachen Regional Court sentenced him to a prison term of 3 years and 3 months for taking hostages and dangerous bodily harm. In spring 2010, after serving part of the sentence, he was released from custody. He was an accomplice in the manslaughter of Kamal K. shortly after his release from prison in October 2010.
The activities of the KAL in 2005 focused in particular on supporting the NPD before the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in May and the federal elections in September 2005. They also included the NPD / JN functionary Sascha Wagner , who is still relatively new to the Comradeship that appeared in the middle and end of 2001 established contacts in the nationwide right-wing extremist scene.
