ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the distribution and forms of extreme right-wing attitudes in Germany. It describes the methodology used in the 2018 survey and presents main results. The chapter focuses on people's attitudes to democracy and their acceptance of democratic norms, and also on the related attitudinal dimensions of hostility to Muslims, antiziganism, devaluation of asylum seekers, and the propensity for violence. The dimension of “xenophobia” has particularly high rates of agreement across the whole of Germany. Agreement with both egalitarian and anti-plural demands is slightly higher in the East than in the West, where agreement with the latter is just under half. German society is permeated by extreme right-wing attitudes.
