Residents in a small town in Lower Saxony are frantically trying to raise €3.4m (more than £2m) to buy an empty hotel before it is taken over by a rightwing extremist organisation that reportedly plans to use it as a neo-Nazi rallying point.
The ultra-right group expected to purchase the hotel in the next few days is led by Jürgen Rieger, a Hamburg lawyer and well-known neo-Nazi. Mr Rieger is infamous in Germany for defending prominent Holocaust deniers and leading an annual rally in Bavaria in honour of Rudolf Hess, one of Hitler's top deputies.

He is purchasing the hotel on behalf of his London-registered company, the Wilhelm Tietjen Foundation for Fertilisation Ltd. The firm is named after a former Nazi who made millions in the stock market and died four years ago. Mr Rieger is known to be a strong proponent of creating a master race, and also heads a group called the Germanic Faith Community for Life Creation.
