Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) has banned the right-wing extremist group “The Species Community – Germanic Faith Community for Essential Living eV”. Police searched the homes of 39 club members and the group’s buildings in twelve states on Wednesday morning, the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced. All sub-organizations of the “right-wing extremist, racist and anti-Semitic” association were also banned. Faeser spoke of a “hard blow against right-wing extremism and against the intellectual arsonists who continue to spread Nazi ideologies to this day.”

According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, searches took place in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia . The club ban had been in preparation for over a year.

The group with about 150 members is aimed “against the constitutional order and in particular against the idea of ​​international understanding due to anti-Semitic content,” the Federal Ministry of the Interior said. The association spread its worldview, which violates human dignity, “under the guise of a pseudo-religious Germanic belief in gods.”

Ideology spread to children

The right-wing extremist worldview was mainly lived and strengthened by passing on the ideology to children and young people. Use was made of ‘relevant literature, partly from the Nazi era and only minimally adapted’.

“With the ‘Artgemeinschaft’ we are banning a cult-like, deeply racist and anti-Semitic association,” said Federal Minister of the Interior Faeser. “This right-wing extremist group has attempted to create new enemies of the Constitution through disgusting indoctrination of children and young people.” The Office for the Protection of the Constitution separately mentions settlement attempts by right-wing extremists in its current annual report. The report states that the aim of these movements is primarily to “preserve the Germans”.

‘Germanness’ is defined primarily with reference to the ethnic concept of the nation in the sense of the ethnic ‘blood and soil’ ideology. (

The right-wing extremist club ‘Hammerskins’ and its regional branches and the sub-organization ‘Crew 38’ were banned a week ago. According to their information, 700 people were deployed during house searches at that time. (SDA/AFP)
