In the small town of Mülheim, Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is set to hold a group meeting for the local election campaign. The venue for this meeting, the square in front of the historic town hall, has a dark past associated with a Nazi march.

The speaker acknowledges the historical association of both the market square and the town hall with such a march, a fact noted in various accounts. The town hall, a symbol of Mülheim's history, was once the location for this disturbing event. The market square, a bustling centre of community life, also shares this historical significance, as it was once the site of the Nazi march.

The meeting, scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM on the said square, has attracted controversy. Tobias Laue, Deputy Chairman of the AfD Mülheim district association, and Dominic Fiedler, Chairman of the same association, are among the invited members. They will be joined by several other prominent political figures, including Stephan Brandner, Kay Gottschalk, Sascha Lensing, and Christian Loose, all Members of the German Bundestag.

However, not everyone in Mülheim is welcoming this meeting. Around 500 people accompanied a counter-demonstration against the AfD meeting, according to police reports. Despite the controversy, there is no specific information available about any political demonstrations that took place at 11:00 AM in front of the Historical Town Hall of Mülheim on the day of the AfD group meeting, outside the AfD demonstration.

The historical association of these locations with a Nazi march raises questions about the suitability of holding a political meeting there. The town of Mülheim, like many places in Germany, carries the weight of its past, and the decision to hold a political meeting in such a location sparks debate and controversy.

As the date of the meeting approaches, the town of Mülheim prepares for a potentially divisive day, with the community divided over the appropriateness of holding a political meeting in a location with such a dark past. The event serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering history and the potential consequences of ignoring it.
