Neue Rechte

Neue Rechte (Template:Lang-en) is a German political movement, founded as opposition to the New Left generation of the 1960s. Ideologically, they are linked to the ideologues of the Weimar Conservative Revolution, which included such people as Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jünger, Oswald Spengler and Ernst von Salomon. They parallel the French Nouvelle Droite as a political phenomenon, and are somewhat similar in their general political stance. However there are also marked differences, for example the Nouvelle Droite's neo-pagan leanings are the opposite to the Neue Rechte's Christian foundation.

Well known scholars of the Neue Rechte are Karlheinz Weißmann, Arnulf Baring and Gerd-Klaus Kaltenbrunner. Their favourite medium is the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit.
