Hessian Strongholds of Right-wing Extremism: Uncovering the Hidden Hotspots
Extremist-backed properties established in Hesse identified. - Extremist groups in Hessen reportedly utilize certain properties for their activities.
With a keen interest in the darker corners of Hesse, we're diving into the places where right-wing extremism thrives. Security authorities have eye-opening intel on six key locations that serve as breeding grounds for these unsavory groups. Let's delve deeper!
First on the list, we've got the Ludenbeck Cultural Center in Kassel district. This city has revealed a disturbing secret—the object in the Wesertal has been occupied by a right-wing extremist since 2020. In addition to hosting events like the Winter Solstice Festival, the center even provided a platform to a caregiver for the infamous Nazi war criminal Rudolf Heß in 2024. 🚫💣
Moving to the district of Schwalm-Eder, the home Richberg has housed the III. Way Support Point Kurhessen of a right-wing extremist micro-party since March 2023. The III. Way is known for its extreme views, keeping a firm grip on this property. 🤐👨geschäftlich
Beyond these spots, the Klosterhaus Verlag, a publisher in the Kassel district, is another property of concern due to its long-term connection to a right-wing extremist distributing hateful literature.
The Community policy should address the issues arising from the use of platforms for spreading hateful content, as seen in the case of the Ludenbeck Cultural Center and Klosterhaus Verlag in Kassel. Investing in educational programs that promote understanding and tolerance could be part of the employment policy, to reduce the number of individuals drawn towards extremist groups like the one found in Richberg, Schwalm-Eder. General-news and real-estate sectors should be vigilant about potential ties to right-wing extremist organizations when reporting on or purchasing properties in areas known for such activity, such as the aforementioned locations. Crime-and-justice forces might also find it vital to monitor these areas closely, given the connection between extremist groups and criminal activities.
