In September 2023, there was an AfD meeting in Erlangen’s “Angerwirt”, which was ended by a ban on gatherings imposed by the building cooperative owner during the meeting. Subsequently, the board of directors and the supervisory board clearly position themselves against AfD meetings in the rooms of the Erlangen building cooperative.
However, the owner subsequently receives insults and threats in his mailbox. Among other things, the threat “We have you on our list”, which we, as a counselling centre for right-wing violence, clearly regard as a clear death threat in the sense of an existing “death list” for political opponents.

Am Freitag, den 13. Oktober 2023, wurde ein 20-jähriger Mann von der Steinernen Brücke gestoßen. Der junge Syrer soll am Freitag, gegen 12.15 Uhr, aus dem Hinterhalt angegriffen und völlig unvermittelt von der Brücke gestoßen worden sein. Augenzeugen, die die Tat beobachteten, konnten einen 28-jährigen Mann festhalten, der von der Polizei festgenommen wurde. Bei dem Angreifer könnte es sich den Informationen der „Mitteldeutschen Zeitung“ zufolge um einen amtsbekannten Rechtsextremisten handeln. Demnach sei gegen den Mann vor etwa einem Jahr wegen Verwendens von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger und terroristischer Organisationen ermittelt worden. Der Täter hatte laut Zeugen unmittelbar nach der Tat seinen rechten Arm zum Hitlergruß gehoben.

“I had been a regular guest at a bar in Deggendorf since the early summer of 2017. At the time of my first visit (and unbroken until my last one in July and August of the present year), the musical repertoire of the latter included the song “Wonderful Years” by the right-wing extremist band “Sleipnir”.
The fact that it is a piece of this group has only been known to me for a few days. It was only through a tip from another person that I became aware of the political background of the play.
So my concern is not about an act of violence in the strict sense. Nevertheless, I would like to bring the situation to your attention in this way, because in my opinion it represents a risk of radicalization (insofar as contact with songs by right-wing extremist music groups, which at first glance seem apolitical, can easily become the starting point for a deeper entry into the scene) and not least for this reason deserves public attention.”
