English summary: In many cases, the Free State of Saxony is seen as a stronghold of right-wing extremism and right-wing populism with prominent results of far-right parties, distinct xenophobic violent scenes and brisk right street protest. By drawing interregional comparisons with western as well as eastern countries, the authors of this volume test the “stronghold Saxony”-thesis on all levels (attitudes, voting behaviour, protest cultures, militant scenes, discourses, ideologies). Thereby, they are looking for potential causes of possible saxon particularities. This volume creates thus a multifaceted picture of right-wing extremism and right-wing populism in Saxony. German description: Der Freistaat Sachsen gilt vielfach als eine Hochburg des Rechtsextremismus und Rechtspopulismus mit herausragenden Ergebnissen von Rechtsaussenparteien, ausgepragten fremdenfeindlichen Gewaltszenen und regem rechten Strassenprotest. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes prufen die These von der Hochburg Sachsen auf allen Ebenen (Einstellungen, Wahlverhalten, Protestkulturen, militante Szenen, Diskurse und Ideologien), indem sie interregionale Vergleiche mit ostlichen wie westlichen Landern ziehen. Dabei gehen sie moglichen Ursachen fur etwaige sachsische Besonderheiten nach. Der Band lasst auf diese Weise ein facettenreiches Bild des Rechtsextremismus und Rechtspopulismus in Sachsen entstehen.
