Neo‑Nazi activist dies in a mountain fall

The tragedy occurred on Mount Untersberg in Bavaria, Germany, a location notably favored by Adolf Hitler. The "Führer" even established his famous hideout there, known as the Eagle's Nest.

On September 29, 30 people embarked on a hike to the summit. Among the participants was a 37-year-old neo-Nazi. According to foreign media, during the climb, he fell from a height of about 200 feet and died instantly.

The man was a well-known figure in far-right circles, serving as a senior board member in the neo-Nazi organization Der III Weg (The Third Way), founded in 2013 as a splinter of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD).

This relatively small organization, comprising about 600 members, is distinguished by its radical approach to political activism and aims to achieve extremist goals. In last year's German intelligence report, he was identified as the treasurer of the Bavarian faction of this group.

The accident occurred when the man slipped while leaning on a tree root. Losing his balance, he fell from a significant height and died. Two helicopters were immediately dispatched to the site to assist in recovering his body.

After his death, his relatives launched an online fundraiser for his funeral. The family also wrote about his wife's difficult situation, now raising their infant daughter alone. About 13,000 dollars has already been raised on the site to cover the funeral costs.
