ABSTRACT

In post-war Germany, there have been manifold, albeit cyclically fluctuating, efforts to reduce a resurgence of far-right dangers and to strengthen democratic resilience. The chapter briefly traces a picture of the threats posed by the extreme right and then gives an overview in historical perspective of three important lines of resilience-building – banning groups, primary to tertiary prevention, and networks of counselling – that, as a result, have led to a diverse landscape of projects and measures today.
