Germany allocates €6 million for NSU right-wing terror documentation centre

Wednesday, 22 July 2026, 07:19 · 1 min read

Germany's federal interior ministry has confirmed it will provide €6 million in 2026 to establish a foundation for a planned NSU documentation centre in Nuremberg, reversing an earlier decision to cut all funding for the project. The NSU (Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund, or National Socialist Underground) was a far-right terrorist cell whose core members murdered nine people with migrant backgrounds between 2000 and 2006, along with a police officer in 2007, while German security services largely failed to investigate the racial motive and instead targeted victims' relatives. The funding still requires approval from the federal finance ministry, and Green Party MP Marlene Schönberger, who had pressed the government on the matter, welcomed the move as "a step in the right direction" while calling the government's repeated reversals on the project "shameful" and a heavy burden on survivors and victims' families.
