Ursula Haverbeck

Ursula Hedwig Meta Haverbeck-Wetzel ( Wetzel; 8 November 1928 – 20 November 2024) was a German neo-Nazi activist. Between 2004 and her death in 2024, she had been the subject of multiple lawsuits and convictions for Holocaust denial, which is a criminal offense in Germany.

Her husband was Werner Georg Haverbeck, who was formerly a leader of the Nazi Party's German Labour Front and a direct subordinate of Rudolf Heß. He was the founder and director in 1933 of the German , as well as writer and publisher, historian, folklorist and parson of The Christian Community.

Haverbeck-Wetzel was engaged in Holocaust denial activism with her husband since the 1980s, but only came to prominence in the right-wing extremist scene in 1999, when she took over her late husband's ecofascist forum, ''Collegium Humanum'', which she operated until the organisation's ban in 2008. She was repeatedly convicted for defamation and ''Volksverhetzung'' for denying the Holocaust in speeches and writings. Haverbeck initially received monetary fines, but in 2015, she was sentenced to her first prison term, after which she became known as a "Grande Dame" martyr figure within the neo-Nazi movement. Haverbeck was presumed to be the oldest Holocaust denier in Germany at the time of her death. Provided by Wikipedia
