The who's who of anti-Antifa photographers from October 2025 in Weiden

About a year ago, on October 18, 2025, a demonstration by the anti-fascist alliance "Don't Torch Long" took to the streets in Weiden to point out the extreme right-wing structures in the city. Apparently, neo-Nazi Patrick Schröder found the protest against his and his buddies' machinations so threatening that he requested reinforcements from East Germany: All day long, several photographers, especially from the right-wing extremist collective "Balaclava Graphics", danced around him and dutifully laughed at his bad jokes and unsuccessful attempts to interview demo participants. But who were these “Anti-Antifa photographers”? We resolve: Benjamin MosesBenjamin Moses and his extreme right-wing media collective “Balaclava Graphics” (formerly “Stream_BZ”) have been providing designs, images and a platform for right-wing events since 2013 - or organizing them himself. Moses has been a classic neo-Nazi who has been active for years and sits relatively undisturbed on the Bautzen district council for the Free Saxons in order to actively shape politics in his interests. Benjamin LenkBenjamin Lenk is part of the Nazi troupe “Balaclava Graphics” as “@_parzival__art_”. Don't be fooled by his hippie appearance - Lenk is a staunch neo-Nazi through and through. Paul MahnPaul Mahn is also part of “Balaclava Graphics” as “@ostlandfoto”. But that's not the only place he's involved in politics. At the age of 20, he ran for the AfD in the 2024 local elections in his town of Schirgiswalde-Kirschau. Unsuccessful, but that doesn't stop him from annoying the local councilor boomer-like about the street in front of his house. The right-wing extremist reaches young people not only through Balaclava Graphics, but also through help setting up the maypole in Crostau. René KlepschRene Klepsch lives in Chemnitz and is not only part of Balaclava Graphics as @_rk.photo.graphy, but also active in the Identitarian Movement. In 2022 he was noticed there for the first time, and in 2025 he took part in several IB or Free Saxony events. Pierre SchenkPierre Schenk values ​​privacy - his, of course not Antifa's - and is the always pixelated face at “Balaclava Graphics”. It's just stupid that after the demonstration in October 2025 it was noticed that he was active in the volunteer fire department in the Ilm district in Thuringia. There is a lot of evidence of his sentiments on social media. An extreme right-wing firefighter? Hopefully there was stress! Alexander BockAlexander Bock is from Weiden, not active at “Balaclava Graphics” and has been playing the cameraman for Schröder’s video formats for a long time. He also seems to be Schröder's connection to the AfD, at least he was a member of the district association for a long time and also seems familiar with the local AfD youth. He also doesn't shy away from attacking leftists. Nazis have names and addresses!If right-wing streamers or photographers annoy you at your demos, then remember: What they can do, we Antifas have been able to do for a long time. Anyone who believes that an entire city could be intimidated by a neo-Nazi and his support from East Germany with cameras and scarves has done the math without us.
