Escalation: Afd Promises Patriotic Cultural Policy

The Alternative for Germany set out a “think German” campaign for Saxony-Anhalt, promising a “new, patriotic cultural policy.” It would end public funding for what the party calls “anti-German art and culture” and replace the state’s Bauhaus-based “think modern” identity drive.

The platform also vows to reorient schools and the arts to instill pride in German identity and end a national “guilt complex.” Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, a leading figure in the state branch, has attacked Bauhaus as having “raped the human need for comfort,” making the state’s Bauhaus-linked branding an explicit target of the program.
