Protest of the right: Güstrow's Torhaus closes after five years!

In Güstrow it is official: The "Coastal Interdation" association has decided to end its project, which has been running for five years. Today is July 14, 2025, and the closure of the office in the street at the mountains is pending at the end of the month. The reason for this step is clear: Intense temporal loads and a significant thinning of the program led to a drastic decline in donations and an imbalance within the association, as [https://www.endstation-rechts.de/news/guestrow-afd-gibt-Mimmobilie on).

Board and founding personalities of the association have offered numerous events in recent years. Holger Arppe, a former official of the AfD, announced that around 200 events were carried out in the “Torhaus”. But the encouragement often remained behind the expectations. Many events had to be canceled or postponed because the interest was low. Public donations also remained far behind the hoped -for sums, which contributed significantly to the decision on the closure.

political backgrounds and developments

The former AfD politician Holger Arppe, who was excluded from the party about eight years ago, sees developments critically. In the past, he founded the "Coastal Transition" initiative, which serves as a platform to support right initiatives in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. His goal was to build a "patriotic resistance culture" in northeastern Germany, as [Dokmz] (https://dokmz.com/2020/25/ex-afd-poliner- --holger-arppe-grounds reported. However, Arppe regrets that the AfD does not recognize the value of a functioning apron and could not get through to support the project.

In addition, the “coastal transition” association is made aware of in the last constitutional protection reports. This can be found in the context of right-wing extremist movements in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which will continuously observe. According to the protection of the constitution, the number of members of the association is estimated at around ten. The leaders have failed AfD members, which raises further questions about the political orientation. Arppe himself was sentenced to finance and has been an isolated existence as a political advisor since he left.

future prospects despite closure

Despite the closure of the office, the "Coastal Interdation" association has announced that it will offer quarterly events in various regions of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In view of the decline of interest in the last events, it remains to be seen whether this plan will be successful. Spring in the political landscape could still offer the club a new opportunity, even if the support from other right -wing extremists is currently missing.

It is clear that right extremism in Germany, especially in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is characterized by various influences and is still affected by the observations of the protection of the constitution. The challenges that an association like "coastal transition" has to master are huge, and it remains exciting to see how the situation will develop.
