BERLIN – German security authorities raided dozens of locations across the country on Wednesday (27/9/2023) after Interior Minister Nancy Faeser banned a right-wing extremist group accused of spreading Nazi ideology.
“The headquarters of the Neo-Nazi group, nicknamed ‘Artgemeinschaft’, as well as 26 homes belonging to 39 of its members were searched in the early hours of the morning in 12 states,” Faeser said.

“This is a powerful blow against right-wing extremism and against intellectual arsonists who continue to spread Nazi ideology to this day,” Faeser said. “This right-wing extremist group has tried to raise new enemies of the constitution with its disgusting indoctrination of children and teenagers.”
German authorities this month banned another neo-Nazi group, the “Hammerskins Deutschland” with roots in the United States and raided the homes of 28 of its members after an investigation lasting more than a year in collaboration with US officials.
