Reupload: Björn Höcke: Vom Lehrer zum rechtsextremen Politiker | frontal

Correction and clarification: The video reported that AfD politician Björn Höcke was convicted of incitement to hatred. This is incorrect. Björn Höcke was convicted by the Halle Regional Court on July 1, 2024, under Section 86a of the German Criminal Code (use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations) for the slogan "Everything for Germany." He has appealed this verdict, which is not yet legally binding. Proceedings against Mr. Höcke under Section 130 of the German Criminal Code (incitement to hatred) are also pending at the Mühlhausen Regional Court. A verdict has not yet been reached. Björn Höcke was convicted by the Halle Regional Court on July 1, 2024, under Section 86a of the German Criminal Code (use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations) for the slogan "Everything for Germany." Furthermore, we have clarified a passage regarding Martin Hohmann as follows: “Höcke comes from a right-wing family. His father, Wolfgang Höcke, expressed solidarity with Martin Hohmann, then a CDU member of parliament, in 2003. In a controversial speech on German Unity Day in 2003, Hohmann discussed, using the subjunctive mood, the extent to which Jews could be associated with the term ‘perpetrator nation.’ Hohmann also stated: ‘Therefore, neither the Germans nor the Jews are a perpetrator nation.’ Nevertheless, his speech triggered extensive media coverage and outrage. He was expelled from the CDU because of the speech and later pursued a career in the AfD.” Edit (September 12, 2024): Dear community, we thank you for all the comments that constructively engaged with our video. Unfortunately, we are also seeing a great deal of hate speech and incitement. We will not tolerate such statements here, as they obstruct the space for good discussions. We need time to read and process everything. Therefore, we are closing this comment section until further notice. ``` Reupload: Video “Becoming Höcke” from August 28, 2024 Björn Höcke: How did a tenured history teacher from Hesse become a leading far-right politician of the AfD in Germany? _______________ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:02 Beginnings as a Teacher 02:08 Ideology vs. School 04:34 Höcke's Parental Home 06:29 The Radicalization 10:05 Political Rise in the AfD 14:19 Outro _______________ Authors: Arndt Ginzel, Ulrich Stoll Collaboration: Anton Maegerle Camera: Gerald Gerber, Sven Wöbbeking Editing: Johannes Bauer, Marcus Dippner Narrator: Meike Krüger Art Director, Graphics: Nicolas de Leval Jezierski Graphics: Marie-Louise Stoll Head of Social Media CI Leipzig: Veronika Prütz Team: Emmi Neumann, Johannes Giesler, Henrik Merker, Dirk Nebel, Anne Strasen, Malte Mierzwa Managing Editor CI Leipzig: Rita Kundt, Sabine Cygan Producer CI Leipzig: Anke Kossira Editorial frontal: Kyo Mali Jung, Christian Rohde, Andreas Seibert Head of Content frontal: Kyo Mali Jung _______________ Songs in the video: “Ticking Tension” - Ryan Lester “Preserve The Lie” - Mr. Roth, R.
