1. What the Pankow
Register is about
The Pankow Register was developed in April 2005 as part of the implementation
of the Local Action plan Pankow (LAP). Since then, it is run by the [moskito] –
Specialist and Network project against right-wing extremism, for democracy and
diversity. By now funding is provided by the District Office Pankow and the state
program „Democracy. Diversity. Respect. Against right-wing extremism, racism
and anti-Semitism“.
The aim of the project is to register discrimination and right-wing activities in daily life
beyond criminal liability to provide an accurate picture of the District of Pankow and
to counter (the development of) no-go areas
early on. In the long run, the aim is to work on
a broad societal basis to counter exclusions,
stigmatization, discrimination and right-wing
orientations.
The deciding criteria for the registration of an
incident is an evident motive that expresses
different forms of so-called group-related hostility towards humans (like racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, hostility towards the handicapped and homeless) and/
or generally a right-wing populist, right-wing
extremist to neonzist orientation. In this connection, foundational for judging an incident
is the experience of the affected person.
Cooperation with other Register projects in Berlin
Apart from the work in the district, the networking with other Register projects in Berlin
is an important feature of the work of the
Pankow Register. In Berlin, Register projects
exist in almost all districts. In the city-wide
network common standards were agreed
upon to be able to actually compare the particular analyses for the districts. In addition,
we want to establish a joint public relations
work, i.a., through a joint internet presentation (www.berliner-register.de) and as well to
exchange current analyses.
If you observe an incident, but work in a different district you can report it to the Pankow
Register. We will forward your report to the
corresponding Register.
Be involved!
For the Pankow Register, the involvement
of as many citizens of Pankow as possible is
of great importance. only what you report
to us, the Specialist and Network project
[moskito] and the contact points, the police
or civil society and antifascist groups, can
be included into the Pankow Register. only
like these incidents and societal conditions
will become known to a greater public.
The whole year the Pankow Register is looking for democratic initiatives, institutions
and projects of civil society that want to
be involved in the network of the Register.
As a public or internal contact point, you
can become part of the Pankow Register.
you can invite us for events and workshops
related to the topic (for instance argumentation trainings) or distribute post cards,
leaflets and stickers of the Pankow Register
in your spaces. If you have any questions
do not hesitate to contact us.
Also, if you want to get active
against exclusion, right-wing
threats and discrimination we
are happy to support you.

2. Classification of incidents
In the following, the work procedures of the Pankow Register are explained. The text
is based on standard procedures developed by the network of Berlin Register projects.
According to what categories are
incidents recorded?
All in all there are seven categories into
which all incidents are classified into. The
first represents all forms that are directed
against persons and that – in the worst case
– threaten the integrity of the body of one
or several persons, which is why this category is called attack. This includes all forms of
assault but also spitting, pushing, jostling or
bottle-throwing. A less severe form of attack
is the category „threat/insult/mobbing“.
It can be directed against people present, but
also against non-present persons or groups
and at first moment does not threaten the
direct integrity of the person. A statement
made in public transport that included that
„we will beat them all up “ directed at people
not of german ancestry for instance is included, but as well the photographing of people
involved in anti-nazi activity.
If incidents are directed against property or
„things“ and when they are criminally liable,
they are classified as property damage. This
includes racist spray-paintings, but also the
damaging of commemoration plates, smeared stumbling stones – for instance, when the
inscription is made unreadable by black paint
– or destroyed windows.
If the incident involves stickers, posters, banners or leaflets, it is classified as propaganda.
This includes clothing, tattoos and the showing of the „Hitler salute“.
If the event involves demonstrations, concerts or info stalls, it is called and classified
an event.
A special form of event and thereby its own
category are oral contributions and written
motions of right-wing extremist and rightwing populist in the local district assemblies
(Bezirksverordnetenversammlung, BVV). They
appear in the category BVV. Furthermore,
there are reports that are classified as internet. Those reports contain content posted
on homepages or Facebook pages and that
are related to Pankow. All further forms and
sorts of reports that cannot be classified in
the aforementioned categories are classified
as other. After a Register report is classified
into a category, the content of the incident is
further evaluated.
What content can a report have to
be included in the Register?
A rough content classification is done according to two topic complexes. The first
complex names all motives that are related
to right-wing extremism/right-wing populism
and that is a right-wing self-portrayal, that
stickers, slogans, posters etc. from rightwing parties, organizations or groups contain. For a better analysis these depictions
are divided between right-wing extremist
and right-wing populist. Also included in
the first complex is the motive of trivialization/glorification of National Socialism,
which includes all symbols oder statements that express a positive relation to
National Socialism and/or are represent
revisionist statement.
Among others this can be the honoring of
NS-politicians, the denial of the holocaust,
the demand to give back areas in todays
Poland. A third motive in this first topic
complex are all direct and indirect statements or actions with that aim at political
opponents. This can be the destruction of
the windows of an electoral district office
or the photographing of anti-Nazi activists, or a sticker that address political opponents directly.
All incidents that are connected to grouprelated hostility of humans are grouped
into the second topic complex of motives.
The concept of group-related hostility of
humans was developed by Prof. Wilhelm
Heitmeyer and others and denominates
several forms of disintegration, including
the one that exclude people from participation in society or aim to do so.
This includes forms of racism, for instance
anti-Muslism or anti-Ziganist racism. Also
included is anti-Semitism, hostily towards
disabled persons and social chauvinism
for instance in the form of discrimination against homeless people. But also
LGBTIQ*hostility, which means hostility
because of sexual orientation or gender
identity, is included here as a motive. Reports that cannot be classified to the aforementioned motives are classified as other.

3. Conclusion
All in all, the [moskito] specialist and network project against right-wing extremism,
for democracy and diversity registered 241
incidents for the year of 2015 that were
motivated by group-related hostility to humans (Racism, anti-Semitism, Homo-/Transphobia etc.) and that were connected to
a right-wing populist, right-wing extremist
to neonazist orientation. Compared to the
previous year this is an increase of more
than 70 reports (2014: 167). Compared
to 2013 it is a very strong increase. The
increase in incidents in the last years was
due to stronger activity of the NPD and
autonomous nationalists in the north of
Pankow since the summer of 2012. It also
happened because of a pointed, partly racist
mood that developed in Pankow, Berlin and
Germany since the end of 2014 with the
opening of new refugee shelters. It shows
that right-wing extremist orientations, like
racism, are articulated more openly also
in Pankow, leading to threats and attacks.
3.1 New developments and
continuities in Pankow
Over the course of the year the NPD Pankow
KV8 was the leading actor in the right-wing
extremist and neonazist camp of the district.
Apart from the distribution of leaflets into
mailboxes and the posting of stickers, holding assemblies was a central element of
the party‘s politics. The formats of events
were: A city tour, (spontaneous) rallies,
so-called „cleaning actions“ and multiple
assemblies. The assemblies followed a Berlin-wide trend of cooperation between the
regional federation and district federations
to increasingly conduct info stalls together
in different neighborhoods. Already in the
end of 2014, the NPD announced the start
of their election campaign for the Berlin municipal elections of 2016. The multitude of
propaganda actions and a majority of the
events of the NPD Pankow KV8 happened
in this context. It also became evident that
the district federation of the NPD has close
ties to several cliques of neonazis in the
district and also cultivates contacts into
other right-wing parties, for instance the
party „III. Path“. Also, contacts between the
NPD and neonazi structures in the north of
Brandenburg are cultivated. In speeches, the
District head of the NPD often propagates
the unity of the nationalist camp.
At the same time, a „turf war“ could be
observed in Berlin-Buch. When the rightwing populist party „Pro Germany“ held
an assembly this was stormed by neonazis associated to the NPD Pankow. In the
following, organizers ended the assembly.
Also, neonazis, as well associated with the
NPD, again and again tried to threaten and
attack political opponents in vicinity of the
youth festival „vosifa“. In the second quarter
this conflict was the main focus of activities.
The neighborhood remained a central place
for right-wing extremist and neonazist incidents over the course of the year. However,
the developments also show that the NPD
was not capable of having several focus
points of the same intensity at the same
time. Increasing activity in Blankenburg and
Karow in 2015 led to a slight decrease in
reports from Berlin-Buch compared to 2014.
According to own acounts, the NPD Pankow KV8 conducted several internal trainings besides public events. Those were not
announced publicly and after completion
short reports were published to the party‘s
Facebook page. Most likely those trainings
were primarily ideological schooling‘s during which nationalist and neonazist thinking was spread.

motive. One parent-couple and one of their
children was beaten into the face on the
corner Buschallee/Hansa street by a group
of five for racist reasons. The father was
robbed, too. At the tram stop Buschallee a
man insulted two men in a racist way and
then hit both of them. A pregnant woman
was first insulted in a racist way, then spit
at and ultimately received a kick into her
back. All in all, eight attacks happened in
Weißensee.
Independent of the NPD Pankow KV8, most
racist attacks were registered in the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood, all in all 14 from
33 attacks happened here. These attacks
were often not preceded by longer planning,
but happened from effect or the situation.
In the Weißensee neighborhood similar incidents occured where racism was the main
Bild: Pankower Register
The main localities were Tram lines and
traffic intersections of public transport like
S-bahn train stations of Tram stops. Bottles were thrown, bodily attacks and in one
case urinating on humans did happen with
racism being the main motive. But attacks
on political opponents were also reported in
Prenzlauer Berg. For instance at the brinks of
a HoGeSa assembly people who participated
in counter-protests were attacked by rightwing hooligans. Homophobia as well played
a vital role in the verbal and bodily attack
on a gay couple by a group of soccer fans.
10
In the Blankenburg neighborhood it became public that homeless people had found
refuge in an abandoned building. From
the third quarter of 2015 the NPD Pankow KV8 took up the issue and started to
openly agitate in an antiziganist/anti-Roma
way against them. They conducted „Hood
patrols“ during which they mostly walked
through the neighborhood in a group of
three and handed out propaganda material
and also held one assembly. The security of
the property every now and then chased
away the homeless. Some affected homeless
people also reported their belongings stolen. The NPD followed a strategical political
strategy in the neighborhood that aimed
at presenting itself as the „caretakers“ of
this perceived problem and while doing so
spreading racist demands.
Also from the third quarter on, apart from
Berlin-Buch and Blankenburg another
neighborhood increasingly became a focus. In Karow an increased presence of
right-wing extremist and neonazist sticker
was observed. While the Register of 2014
only contains seven incidents of this sort
for the neighborhood, this number increased to 35 in 2015. In addition, the NPD
tried to advance a racist mobilization here,
when it became public that in a sports hall
in Karow an emergency shelter for refugees
would be installed. After the announcement
of the decision, this led to three (spontaneous) demonstrations and one vigil. During
the first rally residents standing at the side
applauded the demonstration. 80 to 100
people participated in the second rally.
Here it became obvious that a supportive
and accepting social environment for right-
wing extremist and neonazist orientations
and activities exists in Karow, as much as it
does in Berlin-Buch.
Apart from a multitude of racist leaflets,
broschures, etc., that appeared in the district over the course of the year, several
racist activities were direct directly against
refugee shelters or refugees themself. In
the surrounding area around the container
shelter in Berlin-Buch the toppling of hoardings, racist slogans and bellowing against
security guardsmen as well as assemblies,
insults, the ignition of pyrotechnics and as
well shots on the shelter happened. Attacks with relation to refugees happened
in other neighborhoods as well. In Weißensee a playground was closed for racist
reasons for refugee children and refugees
themselves were attacked. In the Pankow
neighborhood a bomb threat happened and
in the Prenzlauerg Berg neighborhood a man
broke into a refugee shelter and threatened
inhabitants by photographing. In Karow a
(spontaneous) rallye was held and an antiracist banner was removed.
3.2. A look at the whole District
In the following an overview is given about
the reported incidents for the whole District of Pankow. The reports of the register
were broken down into the categories crime
scene, crime motives, crime categories and
crime months.
11
Incident scenes
One look at the reported incidents in relations to the individual neighborhood shows
that most incidents happened in Berlin-Buch
with 72 incidents. Compared to last year
this is a slight decrease (2014: 79, 2013:
53). Following are the Pankow (44) and the
Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood (42). Com-
pared to the previous year, the numbers for
Pankow almost show a duplication (2014:
25, 2013: 27). A strong increase can be noticed in Karow, too (2015: 35, 2014: 7). In
Weißensee as well reports doubled (2015:
17, 2014: 8). In Blankenburg twelve incidents happened, while in previous years in
each case only one incident was registered.

Incident categories
In the year 2015 as well most reports can
be classified into the category „propaganda delict“ (2015: 110). However, compared
to previous years and in relation to other
categories, this category amounts to less
than 50 percent of all reports. Incidents that
are classified as „attacks“ on the contrary
have increased significantly with 33 reports
(2014: 16, 2013: 21). „Threat/insult/mobbing“ as a category also saw an increase
(2015: 38, 2014: 26). A strong increase can
be noted in the number of „events“ from
27 in the year of 2014 to 44. While in the
past reports in this category increased in
election years and with increased campaign
activity of the respective organizations, the
reasons for the increase of incidents in this
category are the multitude of events that
were directed against refugee shelters. The
amount of „property damage“ also rose to
twelve reports (2014: 5, 2013: 14).

Motives
Addressing the „political opponent“ recorded a slight increase (2015: 29, 2014: 23,
2013: 22). The number of incidents related
to „anti-Semitism“ (2015: 5, 2014: 5, 2013:
4) and „LGBTIQ* hostility“ (2015: 3, 2014:
4, 2013: 3) have stayed at the same level
over the years. However, it must be assumed
that the real number is higher. Two incidents
were classified as belonging to the motive
„social chauvinism“ and one to the category
of „hostility towards the handicapped“.
13
14
Months
Strong activity was recorded over the course
of the whole year. A lot of incidents were
registered in the months of May (4) and
June (32), in August (25) and September
(34) and in November (26).

several of them the number of reports is
too low to derive a meaningful analysis of
the situation.
Buch
Most incidents in the district of Pankow were
registered in Berlin-Buch with 72 incidents.
Seven of these incidents were classified into
the category „attacks“ and 19 into the category „threat/insult/mobbing“. 50% of the
incidents of the last category mentioned
happened in Berlin-Buch. Another big part
of incidents were „propaganda delicts“ (23).
At the same time, most „events“ in the whole
district happened in the neighborhood with
17 out of 44 events happening here in the
calendar year of 2015. The most important
motive in the reports was „racism“ (2015:
34). „Right-wing self-portrayal“ (2015: 19)
was on second position and „addressing
political opponents“ (2015: 15) was the
third-most often classified motive.
Pankow
All in all 27 reports here belong to the category „propaganda delicts“. This ammounted
to 63 percent of all incidents in the neighborhood. In addition, three „attacks“ and
five „threat/insult/mobbing“ incidents were
registered. Also, six of all in all 44 events in
the district were conducted in the Pankow
neighborhood. With 21 reports the motive „racism“ was the most important one
and amounted to almost 50 percent of all
reports. It was followed by „right-wing selfportrayal“ (2015: 16), „addressing political
opponents“ (2015: 4) and the „glorification
of National Socialism“ (2015: 3).
Prenzlauer Berg
Most attacks in the whole district happened
in the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood. The
14 reports for the neighborhood amount to
about a third of all incidents in the district
for this category. Also, nine „threat/insult/
mobbing“ incidents were recorded, which is
the second highest number after the BerlinBuch neighborhood. All in all eleven „propaganda delicts“ were registered. Almost 40%
of all reports had the motive „racism“. After
Berlin-Buch (34) and Pankow (21) Prenzlauer Berg comes third with respect to the
registered incidents with this motive. All
incidents with the motive „anti-Semitism“
were registered here.
Karow
With all in all 35 reports a strong increase happened in the neighborhood. In 72
percent of all reports were „propaganda
delicts“. In addition, five „events“ were registered and three „threat/insult/mobbing“
incidents. The most important motives were
„right-wing self-portrayal“ that was evident
in 20 reports and „racism“ which was the
motive in eleven reports.
Weißensee
54 percent of all registered incidents in the
neighborhood were „attacks“ (2015: 8). After Prenzlauer Berg the neighborhood had
the second most „attacks“ of all neighborhoods. In addition, there were seven „propaganda delicts“.
Ten out of 17 incidents had „racism“ as the
motive. Five reports had the motive „rightwing self-portrayal“.
Blankenburg
All in all two thirds of all incidents in this
neighborhood were „events“. Out of twelve
reports eight were classified as belonging to
this category with „racism“ being the main
motive (2015: 10). This expresses the antiziganist incitement against Roma and Sinti
in the neighborhood.

Prenzlauer Berg Via Facebook, among others,
Enrico S. had called hooligans from Berlin and
Brandenburg to meet at the S-bahn train station
Greifswalder Street to get to know each other.
On the evening he and a few companions arrived.
Shortly after 20:30 o'clock a bigger group arrived
and security guard bandages were handed out. In
the group of about 70 people there were several
known Neonazis, among others the right-wing
extremist rapper Patrick K alias „Villain051“.
Several Hooligans from Mecklenburg-West Pomerania participated as well in the meeting. Accompanied by police, they were escorted to the
nearby bar „Stumpfe Ecke“. A majority of the
group first stayed outside the bar and was heavily
drunk. Some were very aggressive, covered up
their faces and repeatedly tried to break out of
the police-cordon to attack counter-protesters.
The police was able to suppress these efforts.
About 100 counter-protesters were at the scene.
When the hooligans went into the bar at about
22:00 o'clock, the scene calmed down. Source:

■ Right-wing populism
Right-wing populists advocate for authoritarian concepts of politics. However, right-wing
populism is more a political strategy than
closed ideology. The aim of this strategy is
to spread authoritarian and right-wing ideas.
Characteristic of it are the orchestration of the
breaking of taboos, demanding radical solutions and a tendency to conspiracy theories.
Central to right-wing populism is that „corrupt elites“ are made responsible for the problems of „ordinary people“. The opponents of
right-wing populism can be state apparatuses,
corporations, parties or lobby organizations.
The concept of „people“ implicitly or explicitly means an ethnically pure community.

■ Group-related hostility towards humans
Group-related hostility towards humans serves
as a general term that integrates all hostile orientations towards humans of different origin
or differing lifestyles. The term encompasses
the following elements: Racism, anti-Semitism,
heterosexism, Islamophobia, devaluation of
homeless people and defamation of the longterm unemployed. Thus group-related hostility towards humans describes ideologies of
inequality. The same worth and the integrity
of specific groups in society is questioned. It
is a complex of discriminations that point to
the fact that several orientations often occur
simultaneously or in interplay. Group-related
hostility towards humans is expressed particularly among neonazis. They see themselves as
„master-race“, which means humans of higher
worth. In extreme cases this ideology serves to
legitimate the murder of allegeded „inferior“
humans.
nazism implies an ideology of inequality in its
most extreme form. Antisemitism and racism
are central aspects of this ideology. The aggressive hostility towards „othered“ people is
coupled with an aggressive nationalism. Neonazis represent a folkish nationalism, which
means they determine who can be a member
of the „folk collective“ (Volksgemeinschaft).
This ideology means neonazis do not respect
life. Hence, the murder of humans is the practice of this deeply inhuman ideology. National
Socialism and important leader of the NS (for
instance Rudolf Heß) are glorified as part of
neonazism. The NS-war crimes and the holocaust are denied or also glorified.
Following the example of National Socialism,
neonazism is longing for an authoritarian leader-system. This means all have to bow to a
strong hierarchy and follow the orders of a „leader“. Corresponding to this, human rights (like
the freedom to hold elections, of the press, of
assembly, of expression) are denied.

„Right-wing“ is a general term that encompasses different ideologies, for instance ideas
of natural inequality among humans, of an
ethnic homogenous populace, the approval of
hierarchic and authoritarian conditions and the
corresponding exclusion of people that do not
fit into this worldview (for instance migrants,
homosexuals, homeless people). Right-wing
orientations often go along with relativization
or justification of National Socialism.
■R
ight-wing populism
Right-wing populist mostly stand for authoritarian concepts of politics. However, right-wing
populism is more a political strategy than a
closed worldview. The aim of this strategy is
to further authoritarian and right-wing orientations. The staged breaking of taboos, the demanding of racial solutions and the tendency
towards conspiracy theories are characteristic.
Central to right-wing populism is that „corrupt
elites“ are made responsible for the problems
of „ordinary people“. The enemy of right-wing
populism can be state apparatuses, corporations, parties or lobby organizations. The concept of „people“ implicitly or explicitly means
an ethnically pure community. Characteristic of
the right-wing populism in the last years was
the propagation of anti-Muslim racism that expresses itself for instance in protests against the
building of mosques. With respect to abortion,
the promotion of marriage and family, but also
in their education-politics, right-wing populist
positions are similar to those of the conservatives.
