Wolfgang Nahrath

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Nahrath (* 1929 in Guben ; † February 27, 2003 ) was a right-wing extremist politician who was best known for his work for the Wiking youth and the NPD .

Life

Together with his father Raoul Nahrath , Wolfgang joined the Socialist Reich Party, which was banned in 1952 . After the ban, the youth organization Reichsjugend developed into the Wiking-Jugend, which Wolfgang Nahrath took over from his father in 1967 and passed on to his son Wolfram Nahrath in 1991 .

In addition to the Wiking youth, Nahrath was involved in the NPD, for which he took on various posts. In 1993, he was deputy state chairman in North Rhine-Westphalia and was a member of the federal executive committee. From 1992 to 1994 he worked as a social judge for the German Workers' Association, which is close to the NPD , but had to resign because he publicly confessed to National Socialism .

Wolfgang Nahrath died on February 27, 2003 at the age of 74. The right-wing extremist scene commemorated him in 2008 at the so-called "Schlageter meeting", which was also dedicated to the memory of Freikorpsler Albert Leo Schlageter .
