Multikulturhaus
The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (August 2019) |
The Multikulturhaus in Neu-Ulm was a cultural centre run by the Multikulturhaus e. V., a registered association. On 28 December 2005 it was shut down by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior. The land, the building and monetary funds were confiscated by authorities.[1]
The institution was suspected of Islamist leanings and inciting murder of Jews and Christians and glorifying martyrdom.[1] Islamic preachers have incited to jihad (holy war). By people formerly in leading positions at the centre, authorities found manuals for manufacturing explosives.[2]
Closure
[edit | edit source]According to Günther Beckstein, then interior minister of Bavaria: "organisations which in an aggressive manner counteracts the constitutional order openly encourage violence towards that end are not tolerated here".[2]
After closing the activities of the Multikulturhaus, it was planned to repurpose the building into a shelter for the homeless.[3]
Aftermath
[edit | edit source]In 2016, the building was bought by the municipality of Neu-Ulm from the State of Bavaria and was intended to become a centre for asylum seekers.[4]
Neu-Ulm and neighbouring Ulm were thereafter for years counted as areas with high activity by radical Islamists.
