Revision as of 18:53, 10 November 2005
Die Deutschen Konservativen (The German Conservatives) is a German ultra-conservative anti-communist organisation, which developed out of a conservative campaign to support Franz Josef Strauss in the 1980 election. Formally established circa 1986, its President was former Berlin Senator for the Interior Heinrich Lummer, and the Chairman was the well-known journalist Joachim Siegerist. The organisation was fined in 1987 for "causing offence" to former Chancellor Willy Brandt, in their condemnation of what they saw as his appeasement policies towards communism.
One the weekend of August 12-13, 1989, Die Deutschen Konservativen held a vast anti-communist rally at Moln, near Lubeck, with a procession of torchlit boats down the local canals, each carrying flags of the 'lost provinces' (Silesia, East Prussia, Danzig, Sudetenland, Pomerania, etc) with a large barge in the receiving lake holding visiting dignataries from all over Europe, including a delegation from the UK's Western Goals Institute, who made inflammatory anti-communist speeches. These were broadcast by high-level loud-speakers across the nearby East-West border to several towns sited just across the border. Some 20,000 people gathered for the demonstration, which ended with a huge march at midnight, led by the flags of the 'lost provinces' to the ancient town centre where a further closing speech was made by Heinrich Lummer. The weekend was reported at length in the Hamburger Abendblatt on Monday 14th August, 1989, with photos.
Siegerist was charged in 1994 under race-hatred laws, in an action initiated by left-wing opponents. He was however merely placed upon probation until 1997. In November 1998 Siegerist was refused a visa to travel to Israel.
