Activists Barricade Hannover Fraternity House Over Alleged Far-Right Ties

The Ghibellinia-Leipzig fraternity faces accusations of hosting far-right events as activists erect barricades and police investigate potential criminal offenses.

• On December 14, activists constructed a 20-meter-long wooden barricade in front of the Ghibellinia-Leipzig fraternity house in Hannover, alleging far-right activities within the organization.
• The activists, some masked and dressed in black, also threw paint at the building and left flyers accusing the fraternity of hosting events promoting 'remigration' and right-wing ideologies.
• The fraternity has previously hosted a lecture by AfD politician Joachim Paul, discussing anti-immigration themes, which has drawn criticism from local groups and university organizations.
• Police dismantled the barricade later that day and are investigating the incident as potential cases of coercion, public disturbance, and violations of the explosives law due to the use of smoke devices.
• The fraternity denies all allegations, stating it upholds democratic values and rejects extremism, while activists claim the house is a meeting point for far-right networks.
