Neo-Nazi group Aryan Circle: Dangerous recruitment in MV!

Ludwigslust-Parchim, Deutschland - In the past few months, the activities of the "Aryan Circle Germany" (AC) in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (MV) have increased. Like Belltower News , the AC is considered one of the most violent neo-Nazi groups in Germany. Especially among young people, the group is looking for new members to increase their influence and membership.

One of the most concise faces of the AC is Marcel S., who not only actively participates in demonstrations in Northwest Mecklenburg, Ludwigslust-Parchim and Schwerin, but also brought the group to Wismar. With a tattoo of the "black sun", a symbol that is heavily linked to the SS, he advertises the ideology of the group. In the past, he worked as a "section" in Schleswig-Holstein before moving to the new region. His criminal past is just as explosive because he was convicted of severe robbery and assault in 2021.

struggle for influence and offspring

The goals of the Aryan Circle are clear: in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania they want to win more members and displace other extremist groups. According to the Protection of the Constitution in MV, the AC describes its ideology as the goal of "rule" white people. Bernd Tödter, the founder of the group, has a criminal heritage: he was not only a criminal record, but also the head of numerous right -wing extremist organizations, including the now banned camaraderie Sturm 18.

Tödter himself is active in MV and has participated in violent demonstrations in the past. A young dropout reported that Tödter took on a kind of father role and called him on violent actions. Such methods are not atypical for the AC, who addresses young people who often come from socially disadvantaged conditions and are burdened by poverty, violence or abuse.

recruitment and threat

The press spokeswoman for the Ministry of the Interior confirmed the strategy of the AC to address young people in demonstrations. Many of these young people are housed in residential groups, where they are particularly vulnerable due to their living conditions. The high experience factor in the actions makes the introduction to the group attractive for many. However, dropouts report violent threats if they want to leave the group, which underlines the grim reality of the organization.

The Protection of the Constitution observes the activities of the AC and has found that the personal potential of violence -oriented right -wing extremists in Germany amounts to around 15,300 people, which is an increase compared to previous years. Another report by Constitutional Protection shows that the number of right-wing extremist crimes in 2024 has rose to 37.835. This represents an alarming development.

The ability of the AC to gain a foothold in such social niche is also reflected in its violent past. While investigations against members were initially initiated due to the formation of a criminal association, these were finally discontinued because there was no sufficient evidence against the members. Nevertheless, the focus remains on individual crimes and are still being followed.
