Live[edit]
Tommy Frenck grew up in Thuringia and is a trained chef. Before he was 18, he joined the NPD. He declared the town of Schleusingen in Thuringia, where he grew up, a “front town” and “liberated zone”.
At the local level he tried to infiltrate clubs (firefighters, football club) with neo-Nazi people and idiology.
Tommy Frenck was district chairman of the NPD Hildburghausen in South Thuringia. After the Hildburghausen NPD district association was dissolved in 2009, parts of the association were transferred to the Schmalkalden/Meiningen/Suhl district association. Other Neo-Nazis associated to Frenck joined the local party Alliance Future Hildburghausen (BZH), which was founded in 2009.
Since June 2009, Frenck has been carrying out the BZH mandate at the district council of the Hildburghausen district. He was an assessor on the board of the Federal Association of the Young Right, the youth organization of the former Deutsche Volks Union (DVU).
According to the Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution 2022, Frenck's BZH “developed into the leading neo-Nazi group in the Hildburghausen district”.[1][2] Nevertheless, the extremist was approved as a candidate by the election committee. In the Hildburghausen district, he narrowly managed to be elected to the district administrator in the runoff election for the district administrator position in 2024 with 24.9 percent of the vote.[3]
