Provocation from right-wing extremist Schreiber: charity run in the heart of Dresden!
A sensational incident in Dresden's Neustadt caused a stir and countermovements. On Friday evening, August 10, 2023, the 38-year-old right-wing extremist activist Max Schreiber, who works for the “Free Saxons,” planned a march through the neighborhood that is considered left-wing. Above all, he wanted to ask “uncomfortable questions” and once again acted like a provocateur. But the local residents and numerous counter-demonstrators were not so easily provoked. Numerous people gathered before his performance, which forced the police to stop Schreiber and send him off. Fortunately, the confrontation remained relatively calm - a heavy police presence ensured security, while it was only accompanied by a heavy downpour Sächsische.de reported.
While Schreiber tried to march through Louisenstrasse and Alaunpark, the police were on site to monitor the growing tensions between the approximately 350 counter-demonstrators and Schreiber. However, this did not stop his companions from ending the performance after two and a half hours because they could not leave Schreiber to him alone. He is also being investigated because he had a tattoo that is associated with a sub-organization of the NSDAP.
“His hatred saves lives” – the fundraising campaign
Max Schreiber's attempt to attract attention in Neustadt with his provocative questions instead led to a remarkable fundraising campaign. In view of the provocation, city councilors Anne Herpertz from the Pirates and Rita Kunert from Seebrücke decided to turn the matter into a positive one. A fundraising run was launched under the motto “His hatred saves lives (involuntary)”. For every meter that Schreiber traveled, five euros should be donated to the sea rescue organization “Mission Lifeline”, as dokmz.com notes.
The fundraising campaign proved to be a great success. Over 4,000 euros were raised, both through cash donations and through transfers, which shows the solidarity of the citizens. Activists collected donations using collection boxes and also made online donations possible. This initiative turned Schreiber's provocation against himself and showed that the community stands together.
Another chapter in Schreiber's story
Max Schreiber was sentenced to 14 months in prison on probation at the Dresden District Court in June 2024 for, among other things, grievous bodily harm and incitement to hatred. An appeal hearing at the Dresden Regional Court is scheduled for October 2023. Despite his limited scope for action, he wanted to return to his old methods, but the city and its residents clearly rejected him and showed that such provocations are not welcome here. So Schreiber must continue to bear the consequences of his actions while the local community actively advocates for humanity.
