Nibelungen-Adaptionen im Rechtsextremismus

Abstract

Vor dem Hintergrund der Tatsache, dass Rechtsextremisten im deutschsprachigen Raum gerne die Kulturgeschichte für ihre Zwecke vereinnahmen, betrachtet die vorliegende Untersuchung die Frage, in welchen Formen Bezugnahmen auf das Nibelungenlied in der rechtsextremen Szene nachweisbar sind. Dazu werden vornehmlich rechtsextreme Internet-Domänen ausgewertet. Hier finden sich Referenzen vornehmlich in drei Bereichen rechtsextremer Lebenswelten, nämlich im Kampfsport, in der Bekleidung und in der Musik. Daneben lassen sich vereinzelt auch noch weitere Bezüge zu den Nibelungen in anderer Hinsicht nachweisen. Es zeigt sich dabei, dass die rechtsextreme Adaption des Nibelungenstoffes sich im Wesentlichen auf die zwei Figuren Siegfried und Hagen von Tronje konzentriert. Andere Gestalten aus dem Nibelungenlied spielen in der rechtsextremen Aneignung keine Rolle. Neben der reinen Referenz in Namen werden speziell in Songs verschiedener rechtsextremer Bands auch (geringe) Teile des Inhalts des Nibelungenliedes verarbeitet. Betont werden dabei vor allem die Aspekte von Krieg und Kampf, besondere Beachtung und Wertschätzung erfährt überdies die so genannte Nibelungentreue. Alle Zugriffe auf die Nibelungen werden im Sinne der rechtsextremen Weltanschauung instrumentalisiert, und zwar sowohl zum Propagieren sozialdarwinistischer Vorstellungen der Durchsetzung des Stärkeren als auch für die rechtsextreme Identitätsstiftung. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass es weniger um eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit dem mittelalterlichen Werk geht als um eine oberflächliche und gewaltzentrierte Vereinnahmung.

This study examines the forms in which references to the Nibelungenlied can be found in the right-wing extremist scene because right-wing extremists in Germanspeaking countries frequently hijack cultural history for their own purposes. This evaluation focuses on far-right Internet domains. Here, references are primarily found in three areas of right-wing extremist life: martial arts, clothing, and music. In addition, there are several isolated references to the Nibelungen. The right-wing extremist adaptation of the Nibelungen material focuses primarily on the two characters: Siegfried and Hagen. Other characters from the Nibelungenlied play no part in rightwing extremist appropriation. In addition to the name references, (small) portions of the Nibelungenlied’s content are manipulated, particularly in songs performed by various right-wing extremist bands. The aspects of war and battle are emphasized, with special attention and appreciation given to the Nibelungs’ alleged loyalty. All approaches to the Nibelungen are instrumentalized in the right-wing extremist worldview to propagate social Darwinist ideas of survival of the fittest as well as to shape right-wing extremist identities. All in all, it becomes clear that the emphasis is on a superficial and violence-focused appropriation rather than an in-depth examination of the medieval work. This bears striking similarities to the reception and instrumentalization of Nordic-Germanic mythology in the right-wing extremist movement.
