Overview

Antifaschistische Aktion Hannover (AAH) is an anti-fascist group founded in 2001 in Hannover, Germany. Although the nationwide Antifaschistische Aktion/Bundesweite Organisation (AA/BO) dissolved in April 2001, AAH oriented itself toward its structures and ideas. The group organized numerous demonstrations, the majority of which were directed against neo-Nazi efforts. In 2005, the group split due to substantive and personal differences and dissolved. From its structures, two new anti-fascist groups emerged: one called "Politik. Organisation. Praxis (POP)," which itself dissolved in September 2006, and a re-foundation under the old name "Antifaschistische Aktion Hannover." In October 2007, another group split off from this re-founded AAH. The anti-fascist groups AAH and POP were mentioned in the Lower Saxony state reports on the protection of the constitution (Verfassungsschutzberichte) for the years 2001 to 2005. In 2008 and 2009, AAH was classified by the Verfassungsschutz as left-wing extremist. The group maintains a website at afahannover.blogsport.de.
