In the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt, two AfD members of the state parliament are apparently planning to hold a demonstration directly past the house of a CDU district administrator.
The CDU district administrator Götz Ulrich, in front of whose house the elevator is to take place, told the district council in Naumburg.
According to Ulrich, the AfD politicians Hans-Thomas Tillschneider and Lothar Waehler have registered a rally in Bad-Bibra for March 25th.
CDU politician Ulrich also lives there.
Under the motto “Stop the great raid,” the AfD politicians wanted to hold a rally through Bad Bibra between 6 and 9 p.m.
The demo route leads right past the district administrator's house and even takes a small detour.
One of the people who registered for the demo, Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, is considered a right-wing extremist.
He maintains close contacts with the right-wing extremist “Identitarian Movement” and is monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
In principle, Ulrich has nothing against the rally. “That’s your right.
That is their basic right to assemble,” he says in the district council.
Those who registered for the demo chose the route so that it ran right past Ulrich's house.
The route was chosen to give Ulrich “a nice visit with flags, trumpets, football horns, whistles, drums and a megaphone,” Ulrich continued.
This is an attempt to intimidate him and his family.
Instead of seeking the district council debate, the AfD MPs and their supporters worked with home visits.
“We all know where such instruments of intimidation, repression and threats can lead,” says Ulrich.
»I don't even have to serve the Nazi era.
All you need to do is look at the year 2015, in the Burgenland district, in Tröglitz, with a prepared refugee accommodation.«
In 2015 there was an arson attack on a refugee accommodation in Tröglitz.
Nobody was injured.
Previously, members of the NPD and Tröglitz citizens had held weekly marches through the town and also protested in front of the house of the then mayor Markus Nieth (independent).
He was then forced to resign from his position in order to protect his family.
After the arson attack, Ulrich committed to renovating the house and stuck to the plan for refugee accommodation.
According to his own statements, he was already receiving death threats back then.
Ulrich received cross-party solidarity from Saxony-Anhalt for his statement.
He announced: "I will stand up to these Nazi methods and continue to stand up for the free-democratic basic order wherever this is necessary."
