Right-wing Extremist Strongholds Popping Up Across Hesse
Far-right groups reportedly utilizing properties in Hesse for their activities. - Right-wing extremists reportedly utilize properties within Hessen for their activities.
Wanna know about the hotspots for right-wing extremism in good ol' Hesse? Look no further! Here are the key spots the security authorities keep an eye on:
- Ludenbeck Cultural Center, nestled in the Kassel district, plays host to some sketchy events, like the "Winter Solstice Festival" back in December and a lecture given by a Nazi war criminal caregiver in April '24. It's been a regional hub for right-wing extremist gatherings since a extremist took up residence there at the end of 2020.
- Klosterhaus Verlag in the same district runs a publishing house peddling works by radical authors, all run by a right-wing extremist convicted for distributing a Holocaust denial brochure. Yikes!
- Richberg House in Schwalm-Eder district is home to the III. Way Support Point Kurhessen, a micro-party with right-wing extremist roots. These guys set up shop there in March '23.
It's important to note that the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) advises municipalities against buying properties for long-term use by right-wing extremists, Reich citizens, and self-administrators. They even warned cities and municipalities about the property search of the now-banned group Kingdom of Germany, preventing long-term use of objects in Hasselroth (Main-Kinzig district) and Frankfurt.
Although there's no comprehensive list of all properties associated with right-wing extremism in Hesse, remember that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Keep in mind the ongoing fights against groups like "Last Wave of Defense", with suspects arrested in several states, including Hesse, for planning attacks on migrants and political opponents.[1][4] Don't forget about extremists like Götz Kubitschek in Saxony-Anhalt, and the broader networks lurking in the shadows.[3]
When in Hesse, keep a close eye out, and don't hesitate to check local news sources or reports on extremism and terrorism to get a better grasp of the situation!

- The Ministry of the Interior in Wiesbaden should revise the community policy to include stricter measures against the acquisition of properties by right-wing extremists, as the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) advises against such purchases.
- To tackle the growing issue of right-wing extremism in Hesse, it might be prudent for the employment policy to incorporate education and awareness programs about the dangers of extremism, similar to how some financial institutions have started investing in educational programs related to real-estate and finance.
