German Neo-Nazi party open squatted social centre![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The site of the former Hotel Gerhus in the village of Fassberg in the German state of Lower Saxony is now squatted by a neoNazi group loyal to the far-right German NPD deputy leader Jürgen Rieger. Although the building is in receivership, and despite the little village never reportedly having had the pleasure of a squat or social centre before, the 8000 metre squared piece of real estate is now breaking news in the German language. A mostly ignored press statement issued by Rieger last Friday announced his activists would occupy the premises after a leasing deal went sour (for the nazi's) & they felt they were being ripped off by someone in the estate agents' sector for offering them the space. Accordingly in the last 24 hours German NeoNazi's have indeed occupied the site - with the intention of turning the 70+ plus bedroomed building into a "training, educational & political revival" centre. This may probably mean a lot more than showing vids, cooking stew, growing soya or trying trapeze. It might indeed meaning decorating the garden with gnomes(*) giving Hitler salutes and denying the Holocaust 24 hours a day 7 days a week or as they generally do these days simply talk about the efficiency of ovens over 24 hours a day and 7 days a week without going into the systematic denial of civil and human rights of many many millions of Europeans through the the 1930's and 1940's who were systematically stripped of their citizenship, educational qualifications, rights to residency, rights to travel, rights to movement, rights to marry unhindered and then put without trial to slave labour. |
