New Nazi restaurant in Auengrund: A dangerous trend in South Thuringia

in Thuringia, the opening of a new restaurant by the well -known neo -Nazi Tommy Frenck ensures excitement. The iron lion, which is located in the Brattendorf district of the municipality of Auengrund, is announced as a "adventure catering of superlatives". However, this type of gastronomy cannot be viewed uncritically. Frenck, an influential player in the right -wing extremist scene, was previously operator of the Golden Löwen, a popular meeting point for neo -Nazis in the Veßra monastery, which had to close due to monument protection requirements.

The opening of this new restaurant arouses concerns and questions about the growing normalization of extremely right -wing ideologies in society. It is alarming that a restaurant is guided by such a controversial character, the predecessor of which was a center of the right scene. The Thuringians are concerned that such meeting points not only create extremists, but also for their questionable ideologies.

The different facets of the iron lion

Frenck, who is open to his racist attitude, plans to create far -reaching offers in the iron lion. In addition to the normal restaurant operation, there will be additional leisure options such as a darts and billiard lounge and a bowling alley to encourage you to spend a lot of time there and to celebrate the ideologies uninhibitedly.

A particularly controversial area of the restaurant is the Africa-Korps-Bar, in which exotic cocktails and dishes are offered. This alleged topic arouses the suspicion of many that colonial stereotypes are downplayed or even glorified. The right -wing extremist past in Germany could not only be staged culinary, but also downplayed, which leads to dangerous rhetoric.

Another critical element is the spread of Nazi merchandising. In the past, Frenck has also profiled himself through his online trade, which sells right -wing extremist clothing and accessories. This trend not only shows that popular culture and extremism can go hand in hand, but also how important it is to question and combat such business and their operators.

A particularly explosive detail is that the restaurant and Frenck's online mail order trade are recognized as training companies. These facts raise questions about how it can be that such an ideology is legitimized as a professional basis. Frenck is looking for trainees in a targeted manner, which is strongly questioned in a time of public awareness of diversity and inclusion. The contradiction between the ideological beliefs of Frenck and the training standards made possible can hardly be grasped.

resistance to the normalization of extremism

Development that right -wing extremists like Tommy Frenck are able to create socially accepted platforms is alarming. The iron lion could become attracted to racists, neo -Nazis and other extremists, which affects not only the local community, but also the entire society.

In recent years there has been an increasing concern in Germany about the strong right movements. With the opening of the Iron Lion and the fact that such shops are given a kind of social legitimation, the need to actively fight against this development and to strengthen the counter -public

activists have already made mobile and demand a strong anti -fascist movement that opposes this. The task is to provide information and to show solidarity with affected communities that suffer from the pressure of right rhetoric and actions. Anyone who ignores the developments around Tommy Frenck and the normalization of his ideology contributes to the fact that a dangerous trend can strengthen.

The Situation requires rethinking and acting. It is crucial to network with each other in order to actively stand up against the normalization of extremist ideas and to offer support those affected. The Iron Lion exemplifies the challenges that society faces today. Everyone can be part of this movement that stands for peaceful and diverse coexistence.
