Overview

  • The AfD in Saxony-Anhalt has proposed replacing the state's '#moderndenken' campaign with '#deutschdenken' to promote a 'respectful and unburdened' view of German history.
  • Key elements of the proposal include a 'Stolz-Pass' offering discounts at historical sites and awards for contributions to German identity in history, art, philosophy, and literature.
  • The campaign would feature a new logo with a German flag pointing downward to the right, emphasizing nationalist symbolism.
  • The state government has confirmed it will not alter the existing '#moderndenken' campaign, which highlights local innovations and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
  • Opposition parties have criticized the AfD's initiative as nationalist posturing, continuing its trend of tying cultural policy to German historical narratives.
