Meine Familie, die AFD und ich

In the organizer's words:

Leonie Plaar in conversation:

Leonie Plaar is queer, a political activist, historian - and the daughter of an AfD member. For years, she has listened, analyzed and participated in discussions. Above all, however, she had to experience what it feels like when her own father becomes part of a movement that is directed against all the values that she herself embodies.

The current political developments and the rise of right-wing conservative ideologies are not only taking place at an academic or public level: The political rifts are also running through families. For every point in the election manifesto, every conspiracy myth and populist election poster, there are personal stories that are playing out all over Germany. In her book, Leonie Plaar traces the radicalization of recent years through her personal family history and reveals the private side behind the radicalization of the AfD and its members. Because nothing is as personal as politics.

Leonie Plaar was born in Osnabrück in 1992 and studied English, History and American Studies, supplemented by a certificate in Gender Studies. Under the name Frau Löwenherz, she educates people online about historical topics, queerness and feminism, and her authentic and courageous voice has earned her a wide reach. Leonie not only works as an activist, but also as a freelance journalist.

In the run-up to the 2026 local elections in Munich, we are giving space to questions of social participation and democratic engagement in various event formats.
