Identitarian movement Chemnitz: New properties and old faces!

In recent years, the identity movement, which is known for its radical views, has become increasingly active in Chemnitz. Since April 2024 there have been reports of an unknown person who regularly takes part in extreme right demonstrations and appears in videos for movement. The participant: comes from Chemnitz and seems to have a past at the European high school in Hartmannsdorf until around 2018. The activities include events such as the cross-thinking demonstration in Dresden in March 2021 and the grief event in the Saxon capital in February 2025, which recently took place. This person could give the Identitarian Movement further boost, as new exhibits are announced that sharpen the profile of the group.

At the same time, the identity movement moved into Chemnitz. She has acquired a property in Edisonstrasse that now serves as a new center. These premises were bought by an entrepreneurial company, founded by the leading members Vincenzo R. and Philip T., over a year ago. The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution was informed about the purchase in January 2023, but only recognized the terrifying purpose of use in October. According to [Zeit.de] (https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zizeitenschehen/2023-12/ITTITAE-MAGUNGEN-MAGE-MEIMISE-MIMICHEN- Rechtsextrem-Chemnitz), meetings, concerts and other events are planned in this new meeting place.

This is not the first property that was taken over by the Identitarian Movement in Chemnitz. In fact, this fourth property is owned by right -wing extremists, which underlines the worrying development of extreme views in the region. The identity movement is supported by the real estate company Schanze one that has already been active in other cities such as Rostock and Halle. Especially after the strong resistance in Halle, the movement was forced to withdraw, which does not seem to be the case in this country.

The surroundings of the new property is also interesting. An AfD city council lives nearby, which increases the concern about the interweaving of extremely right positions in the political landscape of Chemnitz. Activist: Live on site that it is quite possible to also become active in Chemnitz against the identity movement. This makes the desire for a broad social resistance to decimate the ideologies of the identities and contribute to the creation of a diverse and colorful cityscape.

In view of these developments, it remains to be seen how the situation in Chemnitz will develop. However, it is clear that the identity movement is growing. And both the unknown, who recently reinforced the movement, and real estate purchases in the city have made it clear. The eyes in Chemnitz are directed - what will be the next steps?
