Thorsten Heise

Thorsten Heise is a well-known Neonazi from Lower Saxony who established himself in Fretterode, a small village in Thuringia, around the turn of the millennium. He gained notoriety for setting up a mail-order business in the village. Heise is currently newsworthy due to a recent attack on journalists in Fretterode. Reports indicate that Heise and one of his sons attacked a team of journalists who were filming in front of his house. This incident has brought renewed attention to Heise's presence and activities in Fretterode, a location that has become associated with right-wing extremism. The attack highlights the ongoing challenges faced by journalists reporting on extremist groups and the potential for violence they encounter.
