October 9, 2025

The Indian commune [founded in Heidelberg in 1975] was anti- educational and in fact demanded the complete abolition of the education of children and young people. Individual aspects from their catalog of demands included the deletion of paragraphs 173 to 176 and 180 of the Criminal Code (i.e. cohabitation between relatives, sexual abuse of wards, homosexual acts, sexual abuse of children, promotion of sexual acts by minors), a right of divorce for children from their parents, the abolition of children’s and youth homes and closed child and adolescent psychiatric institutions, a ban on all forms of violence against children and adolescents and the abolition of compulsory schooling.

The Indian commune was an antipedagogical commune in which pedophile adults lived together with children (mostly Trebegängern ). It was founded in Heidelberg in 1975 and was based in Nuremberg from 1977 ; Successor organizations still existed in 2013. The Indian commune temporarily influenced the child and youth policy program of the party The Greens .

requirements

The Indian commune was anti- educational and in fact demanded the complete abolition of the education of children and young people. Individual aspects from their catalog of demands included the deletion of paragraphs 173 to 176 and 180 of the Criminal Code ( i.e. cohabitation between relatives , sexual abuse of wards , homosexual acts , sexual abuse of children , promotion of sexual acts by minors ), a right of divorce for children from their parents , the abolition of children’s and youth homes and closedchild and adolescent psychiatric institutions , a ban on all forms of violence against children and adolescents and the abolition of compulsory schooling . [2]

history

The Indian commune was founded in Heidelberg in 1975 in the context of the socialist patient collective , [3] from which it took over anti-psychiatric demands. [4] She described herself as an association “several [r] young people [r] and adults [r] with the same ideas of love, life and survival”. [5] The commune leader was the former student Uli Reschke , whom the daily newspaper 1984 certified as having an “authoritarian approach as well as a pedophile tendency”. [6] After the house she occupied in Heidelberger Hauptstrasse was demolished [7]In 1977 the municipality moved to the Gostenhof district of Nuremberg .

In 1980 a large number of the female members left the Indian commune and founded the decidedly female Oranienstrasse commune in Berlin , from which the sewer rats commune , which also cooperated with the Indian commune , emerged in 1983 . [8th]

In the early 1980s, an address file with around 2000 data records was found during a house search at the Indian commune. With this data, the Indian commune, according to Christian Füller, assumed a central distribution function for young people seeking protection within the pedophile scene. In 1981 there was a criminal case against Reschke on suspicion of sexual abuse of children ; Reschke was imprisoned for thirteen and a half months and was acquitted in the second instance . [10] In Tübingen in 1985, Reschke was charged with child abduction along with other defendants, including a member of the GreensSentenced to suspended sentence. [11]

Political commitment

The Indian commune was involved in the gay , [12] the anti-nuclear and alternative movement , where it was feared because of its disruptive appearances. [13] In 1979, the year of the child , members of the Indian community carried out a hunger strike . [14] Members of the organization repeatedly occupied the editorial offices of the daily newspaper in order to force the publication of their demands. [15] [16]

Influencing the Greens

The Indian commune, founded in 1972 by the later Green member Uli Reschke, influenced the party’s program during the founding phase of the Greens . [17] Although it failed at the founding party conference of the Greens on January 13, 1980, the Indian commune claimed in a leaflet that it had written the section on “children and young people” in the first party program; it was adopted on June 22, 1980 at the Federal Assembly of the Greens with a large majority. [18] Werner Vogel , who was elected to the German Bundestag for the Greens in 1983 but did not accept his mandate, supported the concerns of the Indian commune within the party in 1982. [19]In autumn 1983 young members of the Indian community temporarily occupied the federal office of the Greens in Bonn . [20] Groups of the Indian commune disrupted Green party conventions in order to spread their demands for unpunished sexual contact between children and adults, including the state party convention of the Greens in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1985. [21]

This influence on the Greens was discussed again in the press in 2013 as part of the pedophilia debate about Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen .

Successor organizations

In 2013, former members were active in the “Anti-Kinderklau action alliance for children’s rights” (AKKAK), in the “Forum for anarchist children and youth policy ”, [20] in “Youth Self-Help in Nuremberg” and in a bicycle shop. Their activities were monitored by the child and youth protection department in the youth welfare office of the city of Nuremberg and by the child protection association of Nuremberg. [22]
