it's thursday evening and stayed at a district of the german city of s. and members of a local group called state a young guys from state are a walking the street says they have once a week for the past 2 years also here people from accountant movement support diversity and stayed at. that age but if there's something menacing about the situation we don't want that here instead of. the scenes like this are not unique to edison similar groups have formed in many other german cities vigilantes who claim them maintaining law and order because the police no longer do. i the 1st time we met with founding members of the county movement in december

28th seen there was a clear sense of uneasiness. they view the far right tendencies of the shale a youngster as a threat to the otherwise peaceful district that was that of another loud giving them a really loud and noisy and they turned out on mass all dressed in black on time. and then they sort of surrounded us took photos and made videos called out to us made all that noise. it felt really threatening this. many people find this stale young's intimidating to us in their face but postings they claim to be harmless they invite people to approach them so we did the. concerts on can you tell us what you stand for these and you. didn't get it where you've been told the recent protests will do if you didn't are not permitted to say

anything of why don't you have begged him from speaking you again yes get lost in me finish the son. of a little bit of the i'm going. iraq was enough we have nothing to say now go you know see recognizable faces covered in harm's way when you're freezing goodbye. the man who tried to ruin our fatigue by shining his smartphone light into our camera is a figure familiar to us having a reasonable conversation is not his thing. whenever they steal a young stand out the counter movement also demonstrates founded by a group of local residents it's now supported by members of unions political parties the local business community and churches. he he i'm speaking here today on behalf of the lutheran church because i believe it's crucial that the church does not stay silent the daily young's claim there are vigilante groups

marching for residence safety but i think they stir up fear and insecurity and they threaten the peace in our district. and i want to hold a citizens meeting in their district all including the shayla young ones who are willing to talk with us. the church in which has to have them as a whole and preaches each sunday it's called the church of peace and she considers the name her mission she believes that the far right group is dividing society with their marches. if you aforementioned people here in stalest say they feel frightened that the stale young's numbers are increasing. they dress alike they wear black clothing and they march throughout history also they don't say much but

there are presents that phrase like so our no one is discovering were shifted on the instant just just what the steel a young stand for why they demonstrate is never expressed in public they behave as if they're out for an innocent stroll but their agenda is rooted in far right ideology their true intentions are revealed on the internet postings like these a typical of the group. xenophobia racist nationalistic. in reality they are the ones out of place in this peaceful district with its 17000 residents where the crime rate has been decreasing steadily for many years and still is i believe the sale is like a village within the city of s. and a lot of. the residents associate strongly with the district once it's lively and

very diverse bush but i my malts of people shop at the market held 3 times a week and they like to be outside in cafes or on the banks of the horror of people from all backgrounds and social classes you hear all sorts of languages and that contributes greatly to the district's characters that idea. but the black clad figures you anybody different from them as a threat to their idea of a perfect gemini is to see if we try again to engage them in conversation this is our organs are limited amount of. the amount of them one of them decides to say something. is right no preserve you want to insure no one bothers our women and children. what do they have to fear here in st louis armstrong from the totals but . what about the stuff happening in other parts of s. if you think they're all safe and friendly districts you're living in a fantasy world. do you think steel is dangerous no not when we're around

speechlessly like i said we're pigeon fanciers. someone calls out to him he calls him coca he has a teardrop tattoo a widely recognized prison tattoo. and internet search turns up several hits including a television feature from 2016 this is one of them a guy from asm. i was 16 or 17 when i got out of prison and i started working as a waiter at a strip bar. much of campus life has been characterized by crime and punishment would be a movie that was convicted over and over no fewer than 30 times for promoting prostitution that's also for violent crimes he spent a total of 17 years in prison things. this man wants to make the district safe but you know why i'm here i'll tell you why. that's enough wrong. going to somebody else wants to talk but the others stop him before he starts. mischief

hearings and we hear the words rapist and slasher. stayed out on a typical market day no chases the vigilantes here. and . this guy young said they have to patrol here to maintain security nonsense that the other rubbish but. they just want to show off like the right wing party that's all it was the guns they want to intimidate or people are interesting to me is a piece of it there's no you know like crime rates or anything you would never hear that someone has been shot or anything like that so i think it's a very peaceful place to be or to live it. i want to excuse me do you have a minute do you know of a group called the sheila young ones who marched through town and says the evenings . yes i've heard of them also seen them here all frightened and we wonder what's

behind it what do they want to protect us from we feel safer if they weren't around i'll admit i'm afraid of them in it but i did and it spread to wherever you go in every district they're all over the place and your new commission they come here from other districts to know they're brazen and the groups keep getting bigger and more threatening the door to. local residents have planned a public meeting in the church of peace they want to get this. the role of the church as i see it for being is to create connections to promote peace in the district. to come into contact with the people and bring the old message of the church and the bible to life he's leading to put in as a chef when i was growing up in the eighty's a popular slogan was make peace without weapons and i think it's very relevant again now establishing this peace approaching one another not dividing the

community living together despite differing views living and letting live but also seeking a commonality and mutual acceptance is the activity of and it's an 80. 1 man with insight into far right vigilante groups like this still a youngster is sociologist alexander heisler of the university of applied sciences indecl doff. and i think it's something like a right wing mix is the. that a mixed scene means that the core grew out of a typically violent and right wing hooligan scene. and various structures that are not essentially political are mixed into that like martial arts practitioners bouncers bikers people who have similar criminal or criminal backgrounds who come together with organized far right extremists. wouldn't it is for that reason that in extremism research we use the term far right mixed. with full force

when the when they missed seen. this daily a real say part of a network they're closely connected to the self-styled brotherhood germany which originated in nearby dissolute. and is the acknowledged head of the group on the internet he's written about a day of retribution this facebook posting this in spain deleted we come across videos taken in september 29th teen they show several young sit in anti islam demonstration in mention that back organized by brotherhood germany if we want to will beat you to death they challenge. you. one of the clips shows coast near land attacking a counter protest at a demonstration in desoto off in november 28th. he was arrested and

fined. this same rational and has regularly marched with the state for the past 18 months. the essen police department is concerned about the situation in. police chief frank rich to estimate cities had to deploy police more than 100 times to restrain members of the far right group of people who used to. young's aren't ordinary citizens here for at the core is a far right group that is loosely connected and to varying degrees supported by others outside of assonance. at the same time members of the as and group participate in so-called walks or organized by groups in other towns or in the state security services know about their contacts to far right extremists or we of course want to gather as much information as possible so the police presence at

demonstrations is not just for keeping order they're also carefully monitoring what's going on and trying to determine what we have to watch out for in the future all of us will forgive me i'm sure we pay a visit to hannah a 20 minute drive from essen the stella young's also mabel i sympathizes for demonstrations here in hand of the group calls itself the zug to all concerned citizens account to demonstrate to shows us why the far right assemble she doesn't want to get too close she was attacked recently. after one of the much is organized by the so-called concerned citizens she witnessed the car of a county demonstrator being vandalized she filmed the incident on her phone. i mean. the phone was damaged in this attack she reported the incident to the police it's still under investigation. and internet search

reveals far right pastings by hand at the jail and. that here their opponents won out after 7 months if we keep marches in february 2020. the far right scene announced they would no longer be holding books in hanna . late summer 29002 spoke anti islam groups have gathered for a demonstration among them a several familiar faces men who march with the state a young as well as members of for me lands brotherhood gemini awkward and of a man i ask you a quick question we recognize you from sheila why you're here today and you can no comment i was asking him and he said no comment why do you feel the need to be here he won't answer because we know you from state y. here today. for a walk that's all he said now to say. if

. you have what you just said leftist intimidation do you feel intimidated by the left. everybody knows what they are. whining speaking for him county give me an interview we don't give interviews who easy picking for the brotherhood are for and so i use the brotherhood are not above it then how do you represent myself but you said what are your eva says. on social media he's much less reserved this says it's time we germans made more use of our right to self-defense. a security barrier separates the 275 right demonstrators from the counter demonstration.

of how we fought the human rights for decades everybody in the world have rights the right to lawsuits and it doesn't matter with these green or blue or black backwardness or double out our shots i'm angry and i'm furious and i could cry when i see what's happening in iraq. i never want to hear myself say i didn't know what was happening. somewhat by chance we saw something during the 2900 carnival when this truck appeared we took pictures with the phone later the carnival said they'd been deceived the truck had been registered by a family but in the procession it was unexpectedly carrying a young. band on the back they revealed their true face the german word for tick is used by the far right to describe people who support leftist and green politics this is clearly

incitement to violence. the threats are more concrete on the internet someone wrote knowledge is power and i know for instance where certain people live and work and what kind of car they drive so to make trouble this is. always dangerous when people with far right offshore that area antidemocratic social services think they can take the law into their own hands and when they resent themselves as defenders of the german people and float especially against so-called enemies of the people online and the folks find of. danger lives and it's. far right displays of our actual use of violence. in. the strong displays continue fishtail a young stem is straight that the streets apparently belong to them many residents have started avoiding the commercials and on thursday evenings.

instead hundreds of tendin event in the lutheran church with esther the ship around the survivor of the nazi concentration camp auschwitz for months we've been witnessing far right thinking and discriminatory behavior here in. it makes many of us angry. who many if not people like musea aster who know from your own suffering where fascism and racism lead could talk about the more compellingly and warning against them. darfur. we stood in line and waited for a number to be tattooed on our left arm. yet for i usually see the number 1948. mainz were disposed of we were merely numbers don't know. that this

division around there reads from the book she wrote about her experiences in the nazi era in the 1930 s. it was hitler's so-called brown shirts that took over the streets on the pretext of establishing law and order festivals around there the self-styled vigilante committees today are a grim reminder of those times. we were in german occupied poland. with that post as the support diversity group also draws parallels between hitler's thugs and the need far right. one should never lose sight of what could happen again at any time but i wouldn't say we're afraid we go out and defend our position we refuse to be intimidated it's an interesting. they want to prevent the far right turning violent as happened in the 1930 s. the horrors of the nazi regime must never be repeated. with that in mind the

churches have organized ecumenical premise for peace. we see that he's can't be taken for granted we want to take action but of course for us christians prayer is also taking action but we want to do our part so that people in our district can live together in peace. the christians here i didn't it's not the ethnic minorities the migrants that threaten the peace in germany it's groups that there's still a young smith there's street marches they exclude people spread hate and threaten anybody who thinks differently. oh i shall ism is not an alternative. dividing people into separate groups is no solution. because. anyone who thinks that way is

a victim of demagogues who are really interested in their own power. we're invisible we're all different but we're all one. we're sisters and brothers and as humans we are what i have. purchased and see i have a history of tolerance in the said rice this was what was known as a confessing congregation one the to pose the nazis. as this i had the right reason yes it's a tradition in this parish in the nazi era our parish stood on the side of the confessing church so there was certainly a lot of argument and discussion but they did take the stand before. an unambiguous position but also a willingness to engage in dialogue that placing great hopes on the citizens meeting held in the church of peace the purpose is to discuss the fears aroused by

far right marches through the district to the surprise of many people members of the far right group also turn up will dialogue be possible and i'm impressed and very happy that so many people have come. i don't think it will get anywhere the way we've been going this is the welcome to all of you who've joined tonight's meeting there's enough room here for every view. the knife the discussion last 3 allies the meeting took place shortly before the cave at 19 locked down the prevailing view is a youngster make people uncomfortable that they themselves feel unjustly treated we're just walking around just taking a stroll i was. so everyone in this room is talking about the steel youngs but none of you have had the guts to talk to us or to discuss thing was it but did they really want to talk

a brief flashback last week cheaply whistles what kind of statement was that comment. it was this very man we tried to speak with months ago what does 1st class cream. don't just be smiling which no comment with us for our yokohama thank you for that why you assembling here doesn't matter if we give up then why you demonstrating or not demonstrating. we try again to talk to them at the meeting in the church without the camera but they didn't say anything. on. the meeting gets out of hand the suggestion is made that the church organize a follow up. this 1st attempt to engage with the stay young has not gone so well. should be a different issue when a month it's difficult when people don't follow the rules of discussion. that was obviously the case here when people were booed and people spoke in generalizations

sick to course order that made things stressful on me of course the rest obviously mapped about there but the suggestion at the end that we meet again perhaps in a smaller constellation is a good start to me of work and under special i hope it will happen we'll see i think it was a small but positive results from the c. evening it's klein is a good distance obs finished with. the past amounts of one to may be too optimistic after the meeting the weekly strollers continue and no one's willing to talk. this was one of the last evening's demonstrations were permitted before the cave in 1000 looked down with of all of them. not many counter-protest as a present maybe people saw the issue had been resolved. as if it doesn't match the sewage that time i find it distressing that his daily owns are still

a presence in the district. if you know guns and it makes me happy that so many people are willing to take a stand to meet and talk about the problems before the moon or wants to read but i also see that it's difficult to deescalate the situation does it what's on edge that tights with the if i have the impression that the battle lines have been drawn problems if one can often see how to go or didn't and i don't see any practical way of deescalating heinberg be deployed it's difficult at the moment and it's really a big issue so it's right. that then the lockdown prevents public gatherings this is where the far right group usually assembles at the end of march there's no sign of them it's quiet in the district. past him as a ministry is severely hampered by the lockdown she's also troubled by the fact that far right groups in germany a spreading conspiracy theories about covert 19 on the internet but she's

encouraged by the interfaith response. it's a movie to see a movie and it's very encouraging to feel that we're not alone in our mission there's a lot of support from other districts other churches and communities to mine shaft as it is in so we work closely with the catholic church and leave us off the bike and mostly mission and the 2 muslim communities here are also very interested in seeing peaceful coexistence continue. our church is also active in other cities that's very encouraging and i'm towering but as i'm fussy a boutique in this understand it's but the fear remains that when they look down is eased. back on the streets making their presence felt once again.
