The trial of the extreme right-wing singer-songwriter from Ehningen who stand in front of the Stuttgart District Court on charges of sedition must, runs in the length. Originally, Mahler had the right defense lawyer announced a three-hour speech. Because, however, had called for the prosecution a prison sentence of one year and nine months without parole, took the NPD lawyer all the stops to avert the threat of detention of his client. After Mahler had pleaded five and a half hours, the judge interrupted the hearing and sent the 50 present in the courtroom for the weekend.

the core of the long discussion has focused Mahler, now the figurehead of rights to the Section 130 of the Penal Code (sedition), the justification of the blatant question, "why we hate Jews" and the so-called "Auschwitz lie". One of the main charges against the extreme right Rennicke is the dissemination of the pamphlet "documents the defense - Suppressed Facts about Auschwitz and the Holocaust." In it, the mass killing of Jewish people, their gasification and systematic murder by the Nazi regime is questioned, denied or played down completely. According to Mahler, however, met "these documents to the provisions of Section 130". In addition, his client did not rule on whether he had distributed this writing.

Apparently an error by the Post had received the Lord Mayor of Marburg two of the pamphlets, which they then handed over to the police. Mahler doubted both the testimony of the town hall leaders and the proper investigation of the police force after the incident. The right lawyer, hardly interrupted by the judge, used the courtroom as a platform for anti-Semitic remarks and to Goethe, Kant, Hegel, Marx and well-known journalists to quote to his purposes. In one of his repeated requests for aid Mahler renewed interest, the former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt to call to the witness stand. Schmidt should commit to the statement that he allegedly excessive number of foreigners in Germany consider it a major problem.

On the trial of former prosecutor had pointed out that Frank Rennicke "expellees song" should be classified regardless of the various versions as hate speech. The song had been indexed in 1996 by the Federal Department of obscene materials. Nevertheless, the couple Rennicke - Ute Rennicke also sits on the dock - apparently provided for a nearly five thousand times the dissemination of the disputed songs on CDs and music cassettes. The process will be continued next Wednesday.
