German National Democratic Party (NDP) youth organization meets on Ludendorffer property, can anyone make contact?
According to the report below the organization "Young Nationalist" (JN) of the National Democratic Party (NDP) [now Die Heimat] meet at the Ludendorffer property in Herboldshausen in the north of Baden-Württemberg. If anyone in the NDP can find a way to make contact with the Ludendorff organization please contact me (Vincent.Bruno.1229@gmail.com).
WHY A WATER TOWER PUTS A VÖLKISCH CLUB IN TROUBLE
The NPD youth organization "Young Nationalists" (JN) organized its "Community Day South" in late summer. The venue should remain a secret. But the detail of a photo leads to an old farmhouse in Baden-Württemberg. The völkisch "Bund für Gotterkenntnis (Ludendorff) e.V.", the owner of the house, is by no means pleased about the publication of the place. Because the association likes to operate all too much in secret.

August 29, 2020, 7:00 p.m.: The JN posts several photos of the "Community Day" in "Southern Germany" via Telegram. A photo shows young women and men. The women wear old costumes, the men white shirts and black trousers. They stand on a meadow, sing in a semicircle. Other photos show her on a hike and doing sports. They do push-ups on a large lawn. In the background: a red and white water tower. These are, as the JN writes, "first impressions". It says: "A report will follow soon."
September 4, 2020: The JN publishes the "Experience Report of a Young Comrade". Arrival: 28 August; early morning exercise; ideological training and discussion round; 20km hike with a visit to an old castle ruin; singing and dancing together; Admission of new members to the nocturnal torchlight circle; Departure: 30 August. The report, which is undoubtedly reminiscent of the "Hitler Youth", is illustrated by numerous photographs. A photo shows the push-ups – but the red and white water tower is missing.
September 10, 2020, 1:30 p.m.: The JN publishes a video of its "Community Day" via Telegram. The two-minute video shows young women and men doing sports and on a hike. At first glance, the images seem to match the published photos. But it quickly becomes clear that these are old recordings from the previous year, which are apparently intended to disguise the venue.
The water tower, the detail of a photo, is the proof: The JN organized its "Community Day South" in the "Jugendheim Hohenlohe", an old farmhouse of the völkisch "Bund für Gotterkenntnis (Ludendorff) e.V." (BfG). The house is located in Herboldshausen in the north of Baden-Württemberg. The hamlet, which essentially consists of three farms, is located just off the motorway. These are excellent conditions for the extreme right: neo-Nazis and nationalists have quick access and can hold their events undisturbed.
The BfG, which has several hundred members nationwide, pretends to be harmless, but its ideology is radical. It is strongly influenced by the anti-Semitic and racist teachings of Mathilde Ludendorff (1877-1966). In the 1920s, Mathilde founded the "German Knowledge of God" and married Erich Ludendorff, general of the First World War and co-initiator of the "Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch" (09.11.1923), in 1926. Through Erich, Mathilde had a number of personal encounters with Adolf Hitler. They were brothers and sisters in spirit.
The book The Jewish Power, its Essence and End (1939), edited by Mathilde Ludendorff, is a hodgepodge of anti-Semitic texts from the "House of Ludendorff". Mathilde saw in the "people-saving anti-Semitism" an urgently needed and legitimate "defensive movement [...] against the anti-goyism of the Jew". For "the Jew" strives for the "expropriation and enslavement of all peoples of the earth." The anti-Semitic worldview is obvious, but the BfG, which emerged from Mathilde Ludendorff's völkisch movement, claims to this day that she was not an anti-Semite.
For decades, the Völkisch have been rooted in the south of Germany: The BfG is based in Tutzing (Bavaria), the long-standing Federal Chairman Gunther Duda (*1926), who died in 2010, lived in Dachau (Bavaria) and the current Federal Chairwoman Gudrun Klink (*1962) lives in Ingelfingen (Baden-Württemberg). The multi-storey farmhouse has been in the hands of the association since 1972. In the heyday of the BfG, in the 80s and 90s, an event took place every weekend in the property. How often the premises are used today is largely unknown.
It is no coincidence that the venue of the "Community Day" was to be concealed: the BfG usually acts far away from the critical public. The "Easter Conference" in Dorfmark (Lower Saxony) and the solstice celebrations in Herboldshausen, which usually take place twice a year, are the few events that are publicly known. It is a rarity that the Shoahle denier Nikolai Nerling ("The People's Teacher") was allowed to film the "Easter Conference" 2019 and interview the BfG Federal Chairwoman Gudrun Klink in front of the camera. Now the "community day" suggests that the property is being passed around in the extreme right.
In order to find out more about the "Community Day", the Baden-Württemberg member of the state parliament Jutta Niemann (Alliance 90/The Greens) requested a statement from the Ministry of the Interior. The answer, which is exclusively available to Belltower.News (printed matter 16/9322), is an oath of disclosure: The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) has no knowledge of the event. What's more, apart from the solstice celebrations, which are registered with the city administration, the LfV has no "concrete findings" about events in the property. This is not the first time that journalists and civil society have been better informed about the local activities of extreme right-wing structures.
Because the association does not hold any high-profile events and operates within its established networks, the authorities are convinced that the BfG and its property play no role in the extreme right. The conspiratorial "Community Day" proves that this is a fatal fallacy. Jutta Niemann explains: "The BfG asserts that it is neither anti-Semitic nor racist, but makes its property available to militant neo-Nazis. BfG and JN are united by their hostility to the political system and our open, diverse society." Therefore, she calls for more sensitivity to the activities of the extreme right: "Security authorities and the public must know when and where neo-Nazis and nationalists meet."
