Björn Höcke: Ein Rechtsextremer auf dem Vormarsch

Pauline von Pezold spricht mit WELT-Journalist und Autor Frederik Schindler über sein neues Buch, das die Entwicklung von Björn Höcke vom Lehrer mit rechten Ansichten zum radikalsten AfD-Politiker nachzeichnet. Das Buch zeigt, wie Höcke nicht sich, sondern die Partei radikalisiert hat, und beleuchtet seine Verbindungen zu Alice Weidel und Alexander Gauland sowie Auseinandersetzungen mit parteiinternen Kritikern wie Frauke Petry oder Jörg Meuthen.

Schindler enthüllt das doppelte Spiel von Alice Weidel, die zunächst Höckes Parteiausschluss vorgab zu unterstützen, ihn jetzt jedoch aus Machtinteresse gewähren lässt.

Das Buch “Höcke – Ein Rechtsextremist auf dem Weg zur Macht. Die AfD und ihr gefährlichster Vordenker” von Frederik Schindler erscheint am Montag, 15. September 2025 im Verlag Herder.

Das Berlin Playbook ist als Podcast ab 5 Uhr morgens verfügbar. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team bieten jeden Morgen einen kompakten, europäischen und tiefgründigen Polit-Überblick.

  1. Another delightful read about our favorite political puppet show—who knew radicalism could be so… fashionable? 📚✨ Let’s all gather round and applaud the theatrics of Höcke while we sip our overpriced coffee, shall we? ☕️🙃

    Who knew the path from teacher to right-wing superstar was just a hop, skip, and a jump through the AfD? Sounds like Höcke’s just the kind of bedtime story to put a nice twist on “once upon a time”! 😏📚

    Oh, splendid! Another riveting tale of a schoolteacher turned political superstar—because nothing screams ‘leadership’ like radicalizing a party while playing footsie with the far-right. 📚🙄

    Oh, just what we need—another book chronicling the rise of a right-wing superstar. Can’t wait to read how a teacher turned into a political wizard; maybe I should start a side hustle writing about my cat’s rise to internet fame. 🐱📈

    Björn Höcke als „der radikalste AfD-Politiker“? Na, wenn das nicht das neue „Lehrer mit Überstunden“ ist! 🤦‍♂️ Wer hätte gedacht, dass das Politbühnen-Drama in Deutschland so spannend sein kann – fast so spannend wie das Warten auf die nächste S-Bahn! 🥴
