Right-wing violence in Hamburg from 1945

Right-wing violence is not a new phenomenon. This website, developed as part of the HAMREA research project, provides an overview of the long history of right-wing violence in Hamburg and how it has developed over time. It documents hundreds of acts of violence committed between 1945 and February 2004, and provides information about those involved and the networks behind the crimes. The actual number of acts of right-wing violence is many times higher than those listed here.

This accounting paints a clear picture of the threat that potential victims of right-wing violence face every day. The site also highlights resistance efforts by the public and the government.

An interactive map of Hamburg allows the user to access the entries according to location; a timeline lists the events in chronological order; and selected topics are handled in-depth articles.

Most of the acts of violence listed on this site are racially motivated. Acts of violence against the poor, disabled people, and queer people are underrepresented because of a lack of documentation. The current state of research is thin, and we would welcome any new findings.

This website addresses various forms of violence, from discrimination and exclusion to murder. It contains quotes and images that may be distressing and triggering.
