Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilization

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilization Limited is a corporation . She manages the assets of the deceased NSDAP member and teacher Wilhelm Tietjen from Bremen . His legacy is to be used for fertility research, which he called " fertilization ". Tietjen himself had no children and hired the lawyer and neo-Nazi Jürgen Rieger, who died in 2009, to manage his estate.

Wilhelm Tietjen

Wilhelm Tietjen, who gave the foundation its name, was born on May 12, 1903. Tietjen worked as a development worker in Afghanistan in the 1920s , where he was infected with a sexually transmitted disease that made him sterile. In 1932 he joined the NSDAP . During the Second World War Tietjen served as an officer in the Air Force . In 1945 he was briefly imprisoned by the Allies because, according to the Wehrmacht information center, he had carried out party training. Tietjen died on January 24, 2002. He bequeathed his fortune to the Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research , and appointed Jürgen Rieger as its administrator . His estate is estimated at over a million euros. Rieger managed the estate of Tietjen and other like-minded people in the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation.

history

The company was founded on November 21, 2001 as a private limited company for the “Advertising” division under the name “Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilization Limited” with its registered office at Vicarage House S44, 58-60 Kensington Church Street in London under the registration number 04326557 registered with the Companies House, which is responsible for this legal form .

The Hamburg lawyer Jürgen Rieger has been the director of the British corporation since November 21, 2001 . On January 31, 2005, the company was re-registered and relocated to 44 Southwark Street, London. On April 15, 2005, the transfer to Thrale House, London took place.

Contrary to British legal requirements, Rieger did not submit an annual report for 2004. After several unsuccessful requests, Companies House deleted the company from the UK Commercial Register on August 29, 2006. The company credit and property therefore fall to the British crown.

On October 25, 2006, Rieger founded a successor company, the “Wilhelm-Tietjen-Stiftung Limited”, which is to take over the assets of the deleted company instead of the British crown. The company is headquartered under the mailbox address floor 2nd, West Thrale House, 44-46 Southwark Street in London. It bears the registration number 05977830. The legal situation is unclear. From circles of the German protection of the constitution it was said: “ A decision about this could take up to 20 years. "

Regardless of the fate of the company under British law, the Jena District Court appointed the Pößneck CDU City Councilor and lawyer Alf-Heinz Borchardt as supplementary liquidator in March 2007 , who announced that he would sell the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation's real estate and no more events in the real estate to be tolerated. However, the decision of the local court was overturned by the regional court of Gera . The Thuringian Higher Regional Court confirmed "significant procedural errors" and instructed the local court to decide on the appointment of a supplementary liquidator. The Jena District Court then registered the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation as a residual company in the commercial register (AG Jena, HRB 502006, November 7, 2007) and appointed Erfurt lawyer Görge Scheid as supplementary liquidator. However, it was not possible to sell the real estate without the consent of the Ltd. partner Rieger, as the Erfurt Regional Court ruled in April 2008 in an injunction. The company has been active again since the beginning of May 2008. The deletion from the UK commercial register has been repealed. The Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation is now back in existence as the owner of the property.

property

Schützenhaus in Pößneck

In mid-December 2003, the rifle house in Pößneck, Thuringia, was acquired by Rieger for the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for 360,000 euros. The property includes a restaurant , a disco , a beer garden and a ballroom for 500 people. The purchase went largely unnoticed until one of the largest right-wing rock concerts in Thuringia took place here on April 2, 2005, following a state party conference of the NPD . Several right-wing rock bands performed in front of around 1,500 neo-Nazis at the state party conference organized by the NPD state executive, followed by a “cultural part” . Michael Regener , singer of the neo-Nazi band Landser , gave his farewell concert before serving a multi-year prison sentence. The fact that the police were not able to break up the concert previously banned by the city caused outrage nationwide.

Heisenhof in Dörverden

The company became better known in July 2004 when it acquired the Heisenhof in Dörverden and it became public knowledge that the right-wing extremist Jürgen Rieger was behind it .

Hotel building in Delmenhorst

Since the end of July 2006, the company has endeavored to acquire the former "Hotel am Stadtpark" in Delmenhorst in order to use it as a training center and for party conferences of the NPD. On the other hand, resistance from the city council and parts of the population formed. The dispute over the purchase of the hotel occupied not only the German media but also the British press.

The city of Delmenhorst prevented the Wilhelm-Tietjen-Stiftung from acquiring the hotel by buying it through its housing association, the non-profit settlement company , in December 2006. She paid three million euros for the building, which according to an appraisal was only worth 1.3 million euros. Almost a third of the purchase price could be raised from private donations. Thanks to the private donations and the participation of the housing association, the city was able to circumvent the budgetary regulations, which oblige it to be economical and economical, and thus pay a price that was well above the estimated value of the property. The hotel was demolished in March 2009. The area that has become free is to be used within the framework of the urban development master plan Graftbogen .

After the death of Jürgen Rieger

Jürgen Rieger, it was thought, had not appointed a legal representative in the event of his death. After Jürgen Rieger died on October 29, 2009, the foundation was expected to be dissolved. First of all, important documents disappeared from Rieger's apartment, which made it difficult to clarify questions about ownership of his real estate. Then it became apparent that the right-wing extremist Society for Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavioral Research eV (GfbAEV) should become the owner of both Tietjen Foundation properties. In June 2011, the city of Pößneck acquired the local rifle house from the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilization Limited for 180,000 euros.
