Default German court sentences former teacher over far-right video blogs

German court sentences former teacher over far-right video blogs

A court in Berlin has sentenced a former German schoolteacher who gained notoriety as a far-right video blogger to 9 months' probation for spreading illegal propaganda.

26.08.2022

The Berlin-Tiergarten district court on Friday sentenced far-right video blogger Nikolai Nerling to a nine-month probation sentence.

The 42-year-old, who calls himself "The People's Teacher," was convicted, among other things, of insult and incitement in two cases and the use of signs of either organizations either deemed terrorist or otherwise outlawed in Germany.

What did Nerling actually do?

In one example from March 2018, Nerling was accused of uploading an interview he conducted with notorious Holcaust denier Ursula Haverbeck to YouTube.

In the video, the 93-year-old denied the Holocaust, as she had done many times before. For that and other acts, the Berlin regional court sentenced her to a one-year prison term back in January. The prosecution accused Nerling of having known that Haverbeck's statements were contrary to established historical facts.

He was also charged with publishing another video in which he "deliberately wanted to attack and ridicule a man in his Jewish identity."

According to the indictment, in 2019 he also published images on his channel showing someone giving the Hitler salute.

The Hitler salute, and various other Nazi symbols or gestures, remain outlawed to this day in Germany.
