Martin Sellner Registers ‘Institut für Remigration’ in Magdeburg

The institute’s strategy paper calls for a state ‘Landesamt für Remigration’ and enforcement measures that refugee groups warn could enable removal of legally resident people with migration backgrounds.

Overview

  • The company was formally registered in Germany as an UG with Magdeburg listed as its seat and a Chemnitz business address, and multiple reports identify Martin Sellner as the registered Geschäftsführer.
  • The institute has published a strategy paper that proposes making Saxony‑Anhalt a ‘remigration model’ through a Landesamt für Remigration, stricter deportation practices, and reviews of temporary toleration statuses.
  • The paper names target groups beyond undocumented migrants, explicitly including legally resident foreigners and people described as ‘not assimilated’, and refugee advocates say it even speaks of Germans with migration histories who cannot legally be deported.
  • Reports link the new institute to figures and events tied to the Identitäre movement and to past contacts with AfD politicians, raising concerns that the plan could be used as a policy blueprint if the AfD gains governing power in the state.
  • Security bodies and refugee organisations are monitoring the development closely because the Identitäre Bewegung is classified as right‑wing extremist by the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz and the institute’s structure and paper give the agenda administrative form that could influence regional politics.
