Quick Look

Nach den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt und vor denen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wird diskutiert, wie einer selbstfeiernden, rechten Ideologie entgegengewirkt werden kann, bei der der Begriff „Heimat“ missbraucht wird, um DDR-Nostalgie und völkisches Gedankengut in strukturschwachen Regionen zu verbreiten.

Font size

In diesen Tagen nach den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen-Anhalt und vor denen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern fragen sich viele, was noch hilft gegen eine sich selbst feiernde, rohe rechte Ideologie. Besonders der Begriff „Heimat“ wird dabei gerne ins Feld geführt. Offenbar wirkungsvoll werden Ackerscholle und Tradition beschworen, auf Simson-Mopeds volksnahe Runden gedreht. So wird einerseits DDR-Nostalgie geschürt, andererseits soll den von der Politik frustrierten Bürgern strukturschwacher Regionen völkisches Gedankengut in die Ohren geträufelt werden.

Open Questions

  • Welche konkreten Maßnahmen können gegen die rechtsideologische Instrumentalisierung von Heimat ergriffen werden?
  • Wie effektiv sind bisherige Aufklärungs- und Bildungsarbeit in den betroffenen Regionen?
  • Welche Rolle spielen soziale Medien bei der Verbreitung völkischen Gedankenguts?
