the whole of the East of Germany is a division of hard left and hard right. I have a house in Thuringen and it's the same there. Either side need only the smallest excuse and off they go, and they've used this this time. Chemnitz is a big depressed concrete abomination of a place, although the surrounding area is lovely but politically it's as unstable as hell and always has been since the wall fell.
As I said this has been going on for ages, they wanted a excuse , they found one, but this is nothing new and nothing particular to Frau Merkel.
Activities since 1992
In 1991, German neo-Nazis attacked accommodations for refugees and migrant workers in Hoyerswerda (Hoyerswerda riots), Schwedt, Eberswalde, Eisenhüttenstadt and Elsterwerda[citation needed], and in 1992, xenophobic riots broke out in Rostock-Lichtenhagen. Neo-Nazis were involved in the murders of three Turkish girls in a 1992 arson attack in Mölln (Schleswig-Holstein), in which nine other people were injured.[2]
German statistics show that in 1991, there were 849 hate crimes, and in 1992 there were 1,485 concentrated in the eastern Bundesländer. After 1992, the numbers decreased, although they rose sharply in subsequent years. In four decades of the former East Germany, 17 people were murdered by far right groups.[3]
A 1993 arson attack by far-right skinheads on the house of a Turkish family in Solingen resulted in the deaths of two women and three girls, as well as in severe injuries for seven other people.[4] In the aftermath, anti-racist protests precipitated massive neo-Nazi counter-demonstrations and violent clashes between neo-Nazis and anti-fascists.[citation needed]
In 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of the Bombing of Dresden in World War II, a radical left group, the Anti-Germans (political current) started an annual rallye praising the bombing on the grounds that so many of the city's civilians had supported Nazism.[5] Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Neo-Nazis started holding demonstrations on the same date.[citation needed] In 2009, the Junge Landsmannschaft Ostdeutschland youth group of the NPD organised a march but urrounded by policemen, the 6,000 neo-Nazis were not allowed to leave their meeting point. At the same time, some 15,000 people with white roses assembled in the streets holding hands to demonstrate against Nazism, and to create an alternative “memorial day” of war victims.[6]
In 2004, the National Democratic Party of Germany won 9.2% in the Saxony state election, 2004, and 1.6% of the nationwide vote in the German federal election, 2005. In the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election, 2006 the NPD received 7.3% of the vote and thus also state representation.[7] In 2004, the NPD had 5,300 registered party members.[8] Over the course of 2006, the NPD processed roughly 1,000 party applications which put the total membership at 7,000. The DVU has 8,500 members.[9]
In 2007, the Verfassungsschutz (Federal German intelligence) estimated the number of potentially right extremist individuals in Germany was 31,000 of which about 10,000 were classified as potentially violent (gewaltbereit).[10]
In 2008, unknown perpetrators smashed cars with Polish registrations, breaking windows in L18 kilometers from Szczecin, about 200 Poles settledcknitz, 18 kilometers from Szczecin, about 200 Poles live. Supporters of the NPD party were suspected to be behind anti-Polish incidents, per Gazeta Wyborcza.[11]
In 2011, eleven years after the first of 10 murders on Turkish-rooted people between 2000 and 2007 a hitherto unknown Neo-nazi group, the National Socialist Underground could finally be linked to it.[12]
In 2011, Federal German intelligence reported 25,000 right-wing extremists, including 5,600 neo-Nazis.[13] In the same report, 15,905 crimes committed in 2010 were classified as far-right motivated, compared to 18,750 in 2009; these crimes included 762 acts of violence in 2010 compared to 891 in 2009.[13] While the overall numbers had declined, the Verfassungsschutz indicated that both the number of neo-Nazis and the potential for violent acts have increased, especially among the growing number of Autonome Nationalisten ("Independent Nationalists") who gradually replace the declining number of Nazi Skinheads.[13]
In the 2014 European Parliament election, the NPD won their first ever seat in the European Parliament with 1% of the vote.[14]

'Real Germans' Fender? Like the ones that went before? The people kicking up a fuss now are the same people kicking up a fuss about Jews, Poles, Slavs, Gay people, Trans people, anyone they don't like the look of that they think aren't like them. Let's hope your average German isn't stupid enough to follow their lead. I lived in Germany and I love it. I don't want it regressing to some right wing hellhole where I am afraid to go, or where ANYONE is afraid to go.
kval - I'm sure you don't want it regressing. I am, however, very worried that it will. Background - I speak German, been there often, sister worked there, like the German people very much and have good friends there. The vibes I am getting are saying 'enough is enough'. E. Germany has always been a separate 'country', wall or no wall, and they dislike foreigners of any stamp. I know that this is probably regarded as an inflammatory statement - but it is the truth as I know it. Sorry, but I am pessimistic - be only too happy to be proved wrong.
No I didn't write the long factual post it was obviously Wiki and I'm sure that Peter was all too aware of that Spicerack, I think he was referring to the opinion, not the reams of facts, but the thing is I did KNOW it, because I've lived in East Germany, my step father was East German and forever getting into fights with Neo-Nazis. They are a scourge to all decent people living there, and what they are doing now is nothing new and most certainly not confined to Muslims.
Because Pete, frankly he doesn't have an answer for all those lovely facts that indeed I quite easily could have written, as could my liquored up redneck, the dog, or any one of the hundreds of Wiki Editors who value facts over hysteria, and guess what one of them did. I am a Wiki Editor for what it's worth Spicerack, and I work on subjects like that all the time :)
For anyone who doesn't know what this is about, and you wouldn't know from Kval's 'useful' C&P nor The Independent's C&P, to be fair.
A couple of Muslim gimmegrants went on a stabathon and put 3 Germans in hospital (one of whom sadly died)
Local people went on a protest march,
'chasing dark-skinned bystanders'
Hardly, as the German chap who was murdered was dark-skinned and anyway they didn't manage to catch any. (no migrants were attacked or injured)

Further down we're informed that 10x as many people turned up(some masked) and running battles broke out.
Mmm. Did the 'Nazis' attack the police? Did the Brown-shirts turn on the Black-shirts?
Nah, it was our old friends, Antifa, who turned up mob handed (1500 to 700 'far-right' protesters) As we know, everywhere Antifa turn up they get picked on and trouble breaks out.
The only picture I've seen of someone injured was a wan looking old
woman(c70) with a bandage around her head.
Serves her right, I suppose. She was stood near/with the 'Fascists' when she was attacked by the brave left-wingers.

^That was the next night.
Anyway, the authorities are clamping down. They've launched an inquiry to find out who 'let the cat out of the bag' re the migrant involvement.
Like Sweden, to combat the rising tide of immigrant crime, they've hit on the rather novel approach of making it illegal to report it.
Sorry for the long post but I believe it's important stuff to know.

If you take nothing else from this thread, please read and have a good think about this paragraph from the article;
//Neo-Nazis have a long tradition of holding demonstrations in Chemnitz, the mayor said. For years, they would take to the streets on March 5, mourning the day the city was bombed by allied forces in 1945. “But they were always in the hundreds, and the counter-demonstration was always bigger,” Ms Ludwig said.//
