Daniele Ganser is also not allowed to appear in Nuremberg

Critics accuse the controversial Swiss historian of, among other things, putting the Holocaust into perspective. Now the city of Nuremberg has drawn consequences.

Another setback for Daniele Ganser: after the Westfalenhallen in Dortmund banned the historian, who was notorious as a conspiracy theorist, from appearing on their premises, the city of Nuremberg has now also intervened: Ganser is not allowed to appear in the Meistersingerhalle.

Critics accuse Ganser of making his money from conspiracy theories and the use of anti-Semitic clichés – for example, by relativizing the Holocaust.

contract ended

As a cultural venue, the Meistersingerhalle belongs to the city of Nuremberg – which is why the decision on Ganser’s appearance also lay with the town hall. “Mayor Marcus König has decided that the contract with Daniele Ganser’s office should be terminated,” said Andreas Franke, spokesman for the city of Nuremberg, on Monday at the request of Watson’s media partner T-Online.

The events leading up to the cancellation in Dortmund were closely followed in the town hall. “As in Dortmund, we do not want Daniele Ganser to appear with us,” Franke confirmed.

The decision was initially a political one, Franke said: “The contract is being terminated. The order has already been given to the management of the Meistersingerhalle.” He can’t say whether Ganser or his agency will take legal action against the decision.

Ganser’s office disagrees

The events agency Nema, which organizes Ganser’s performances, has not yet commented on T-Online about the cancellation – but on Ganser in general: “By means of slander, false accusations, treasonous incitement and nasty slander, you are trying quite dishonest and clumsy to come across.” , currently against Dr. To get Ganser in the mood, to put him in a bad light and to prevent his lectures. »

Ganser is committed to “peace, international understanding and non-violent coexistence in a fair, open society”. In his lectures, Ganser repeatedly emphasizes “that every human being belongs to the human family. He firmly rejects any form of devaluation, oppression, discrimination, exclusion and racism!”

Ganser and the war in Ukraine
For the Anti-Semitism Commissioner of the Bavarian Government, Dr. Ludwig Spaenle, considers Ganser “one of the inveterate actors of the conspiracy-ideological scene in the German-speaking world”. The Swiss spoke out in Russian propaganda media as “Russia today” (RT) and is in contact with Jürgen Elsässer’s “Compact”, which is classified as a “safe right-wing extremist” by the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

It cannot be that conspiracy ideologues supposedly “clarify” the reasons for the outbreak of war in Ukraine, but instead spread Russian propaganda. Ukraine was brutally attacked by Putin’s military force – there is no doubt about it.

Spaenle writes in a statement that he shares the view of his Baden-Württemberg colleague Michael Blume, who considers Ganser to be “an anti-Western conspiracy entrepreneur” who has been making money for years by spreading conspiracy myths.
