Kernrechtsfrage
Whether stating that Kessler had contacts with the neo-Nazi and revisionist scene unlawfully violated his personality rights.
Extrahierter Entscheid
In the article's context, the statement was not personality-infringing; given Kessler's admitted and proven contacts with revisionists and Holocaust deniers, reference to the neo-Nazi/revisionist scene was permissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that readers associate neo-Nazis and revisionists with the same racist and anti-Semitic mindset. In context, the article did not portray Kessler as an actual neo-Nazi, but as someone with contacts to that scene in connection with his militant animal-rights campaign.
