Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The new research center for right-wing extremism will be created at the University of Tübingen. This was announced by Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann and Science Minister Petra Olschowski (both Greens) on Tuesday. At the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, there will also be Germany's first political science professorship for research into right-wing extremism, explained Olschowski.
The research center aims to build up scientific skills in all relevant fields of right-wing extremism. It is also about newer research fields such as "right music" or the reinterpretation of language. "Baden-Württemberg is taking a new path in Germany," said Olschowski. She is convinced that Tübingen is a very, very good location for the research center. An independent commission selected Tübingen from several submissions. The construction time should now be about two years.
