Early life
Haider's parents
Haider's parents had been Nazis and early NSDAP party members. Nazism, which was a short name for National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus refers primarily to the Ideology and practices of the National Socialist German The, officially National Socialist German Workers' Party, ( abbreviated NSDAP) was a Political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945 However they had different family backgrounds. His father, Robert Haider, was a shoemaker and his mother, Dorothea Rupp, the daughter of a wealthy, noted, medical doctor and head of the general hospital of Linz. Linz is the third largest city of Austria and capital of the state of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich [1]
Robert Haider had joined the NSDAP in 1929 as a fifteen-year-old boy four years before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. Hi and welcome to Wikipedia!

Robert Haider remained a member even after the Austrian Nazi Party was banned in Austria after Engelbert Dollfuss had dissolved the Austrian parliament and established a Ständestaat, a fascist dictatorship. Austrian National Socialism was a Pan-Germanic movement that was formed at the beginning of the 20th century Austrofascism (Austrofaschismus is a term which is frequently used by historians to describe the authoritarian rule installed in Austria between 1934 and 1938 Fascism is a totalitarian nationalist and corporatist ideology A dictatorship is usually defined as an autocratic Form of government in which the Government is ruled by a Dictator. Robert Haider left Austria in 1933, and moved to Bavaria, returning in 1934 in the wake of the failed Nazi attempt to overthrow the Austrian government. Bavaria ( German:, with an area of 70553 Km² (27241 square miles and almost 12 After being arrested, however, he returned to Germany where he joined the 'Austrian legion', a division of the Sturmabteilung. The, abbreviated SA, ( German for "Assault detachment" or "Assault section" usually translated as " stormtroop(ers [2]
Robert Haider completed a two-year military service in Germany and returned to Austria after it was annexed into Nazi Germany in 1938 in the events known as the Anschluss. Annexation ( Latin ad, to and nexus, joining is the legal incorporation of some territory into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous The ( German: "link-up" also known as the, was the 1938 Annexation of Austria into Greater Germany by the Nazi From 1940 onwards, he fought as a low-ranking officer on both the Western and Eastern Fronts. After being wounded several times, he was discharged from the Wehrmacht with the rank of Lieutenant. Wehrmacht (literally "defense force" was the name of the unified Armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945 In 1945, he married Dorothea Rupp, who at that time worked as a leader in the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM). The League of German Girls (Bund Deutscher Mädel or BDM was the only female youth organization in Nazi Germany.
Following the end of the war, legal proceedings against both Haider's parents were conducted to determine what measures should be taken against them because of their NSDAP membership (proceedings against all former Nazis - NSDAP members and collaborators - were undertaken as a matter of law in both Austria and Germany directly after the war had ended). [2] They were labelled as 'minderbelastet' (meaning only low-ranked in the NSDAP structure), and Robert Haider was forced to work in a shoe factory. Dorothea Haider, who had been a teacher, was prohibited from working for a couple of years following the end of the war. [1][3]
Haider's youth
Jörg Haider was born in the Upper Austrian town of Bad Goisern in 1950, a time when his parents' finances were rather moderate. The University of Vienna (Universität Wien is a Public university located in Vienna, Austria. Upper Austria (Oberösterreich Horní Rakousko is one of the nine states or Bundesländer of Austria. Bad Goisern is a Market town in Upper Austria, Austria in the district of Gmunden He was a good student in primary school and attended high school in Bad Ischl despite his parents' financial situation. Bad Ischl is a Spa town in Austria. It lies in the southern part of Upper Austria, at the Traun River in the centre of the Salzkammergut Haider was reportedly always top of his class in high school (see [1]). During his time in Bad Ischl he had first contacts with nationalist organizations, such as the Burschenschaft Albia, a right-wing student group. Bad Ischl is a Spa town in Austria. It lies in the southern part of Upper Austria, at the Traun River in the centre of the Salzkammergut German Burschenschaften (abbreviated B!, plural B!B!) are a special type of Studentenverbindungen
After he graduated with highest distinction in 1968, he moved to Vienna to study law. During his studies he was affiliated again with a Burschenschaft such as Silvania.

Haider's rise to power in the FPÖ
The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) was founded in 1955, and initially was a mixture of various political currents opposed both to the political catholicism of the Austrian People's Party and the socialist views of the Social Democratic Party of Austria. The Austrian People's Party ( German: Österreichische Volkspartei, or ÖVP) is an Austrian Political party. Social democracy is a Political ideology of the left and centre-left The Social Democratic Party of Austria ( German: Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs, or SPÖ) is one of the oldest parties in Austria. With its roots in the Pan-German movement, it included both German-nationalist and liberal political views. Pan-Germanism (Pangermanismus or Alldeutsche Bewegung was a political movement of the 19th century aiming for unity of the German -speaking peoples of Europe The term nationalism can refer to an Ideology, a sentiment, a form of Culture, or a Social movement that focuses on the Nation In 1970 Haider became the leader of the FPÖ youth movement and headed it until 1974. Haider rose rapidly through the party ranks. In 1972, at the age of 22, he was already a well-established leader and was made party affair's manager of the Carinthian FPÖ in 1976. In 1979 he was the youngest delegate among the 183 members of parliament, at age 29. From 1983 his policies became more aggressive, when he rose to party head of the Carinthian FPÖ and started to criticise the leaders of the FPÖ, which at that time was still a minor political movement in Austria with about 5 to 6% of the votes (see [2]).
The decisive point of his career came in 1986 when he defeated Austrian Vice Chancellor Norbert Steger in the vote for party leadership at the party convention in September in Innsbruck, as many delegates feared that Steger's liberal political views and his coalition with the Social Democrats threatened the party's existence. In Austrian politics, the Vice-Chancellor ( Vizekanzler) is a member of the federal government acting as a deputy to the Federal Chancellor. Innsbruck is the capital city of the federal state of Tyrol in western Austria.
Carinthia
Bärental
Haider has throughout his career concentrated his politics on Carinthia. In addition, Haider's personal life is heavily connected with this part of Austria: Haider became wealthy when he inherited the estate of his uncle Wilhelm Webhofer in 1983, who had owned a large parcel of land in Carinthia commonly known as 'Bärental' (bear valley). This estate has a history that came up in the 1990s in the Austrian media. Austria (Österreich ( officially the Republic of Austria (Republik Österreich The land had been owned by an Italian Jew until 1941. At that point in time the Nazis still hesitated to take possession of "Jewish property" owned by non-German nationals without any compensation. Thus when the estate was "sold" in 1941, Haider's great-uncle Josef Webhofer (a resident of Bolzano-Bozen, Italy) paid 300,000 Reichsmark (about 1. The Province of Bolzano-Bozen (Provincia autonoma di Bolzano Autonome Provinz Bozen Ladin: Provinzia Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest For a detailed discussion of the English translation of Reich, see Reich. 5 million dollars today) to obtain title to the land. After the war Mathilde Ruifer, the widow of the former Jewish owner of Bärental demanded compensation and was paid an additional 850. 000 schilling (around 400. 000 dollars today). In 1955 Josef Webhofer's son Wilhelm Webhofer inherited the estate and later bequested it to Jörg Haider. The land is estimated at about 15 million dollars today (see [3]).
Political struggle in Carinthia
Until 1989, the socialist/Social-democratic party SPÖ had held an absolute majority in the Austrian province of Carinthia; when it received less than 50% of seats in 1989, ÖVP and FPÖ formed a coalition and elected Haider as governor of Carinthia. A Landeshauptmann ( German for "state captain" literally 'country headman' plural Landeshauptleute or Landeshauptmänner as in Styria till 1861
In 1991, in a debate in the regional parliament, a speaker attacked Haider's plan of reducing unemployment payments for people seen as "freeloaders", calling it forced work placement reminiscent of Nazi policies. Haider replied, "It would not be like the Third Reich, because the Third Reich developed a proper employment policy, which your government in Vienna has not once produced. " The remark caused an uproar, Haider had to resign his governor post, and the FPÖ-ÖVP coalition was replaced by an SPÖ-ÖVP coalition.
In 1999, Haider again was elected governor of Carinthia by the Carinthian parliament, where the FPÖ now held a plurality of more than 42%. Even after the FPÖ fell to only 10% from 27% in the national elections in 2002, Haider's support in Carinthia did not diminish and he succeeded in the 2004 elections receiving even slightly higher percentage (42. The Freedom Party of Austria ( Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, FPÖ is a political party in Austria. 5%) than in 1999.
FPÖ chairman
Haider as opposition leader
Under Haider's leadership, the FPÖ moved to the far right, reflecting Haider's nationalist, anti-immigration, and anti-EU views. Far right, extreme right, ultra-right, or radical right are terms used to discuss the qualitative or quantitative position a group The term nationalism can refer to an Ideology, a sentiment, a form of Culture, or a Social movement that focuses on the Nation Nativism is an Opposition to immigration which originated in United States politics with roots in the country's historic role as a Melting pot. Euroscepticism Euro (disambiguation --> has become a general term for opposition to the process Haider primarily relied on populism (see below) to advance his interests. From 1986 when Haider became the FPÖ's chairman the party's share in elections rose from 5% in the 1986 elections to almost 27% in 1999. The elections to the Austrian National Council taking place in fall of 1986 followed shortly after Jörg Haider had ousted Norbert Steger In Austria, the legislative election of October 3, 1999 (elections for the National Council of Austria) caused a major upheaval in the political
With Haider practically leading the FPÖ single-handedly, he was able to unite the scattered, divided extreme-right in Austria and establish a party that was not so much founded on leading personalities or an ideology but on just one leader - Haider himself, who used to change his opinions frequently. His style of governing the party became authoritative in the following years, however his followers did not challenge his ultimate authority in the party, especially because Haider was able to gain one victory after another in elections (see [4]).
An exception was the split off by the Liberal Forum in the mid-1990s headed by Heide Schmidt, a long-time political supporter of Haider and the FPÖ's candidate for presidency in 1992. The Liberal Forum (Liberales Forum LIF is a small liberal party in Austria. The liberals initially gained the support of about 6% of the voters nationwide, but Schmidt was not able to uphold this support and the Liberal Forum subsequently dropped out of parliament in 1999.
The party's mixture of populism, anti-establishment and nationalist themes steadily gained support over the years. In addition to far-right voters, the FPÖ was able to attract protest voters from both the Social Democrats and the Conservatives in both the national and regional elections of the 1990s. Along with those who were fed up with decades of government by the 'Great Coalition' (see also: Proporz), Haider always had the unconditional backing of the core far-right voters due to the lack of any more outspoken far-right parties (which are forbidden under anti-Nazi laws). Proporz is a long standing doctrine within the politics of the second Austrian republic.
Coalition government with Wolfgang Schüssel's People's party
In 2000, Haider's Freedom Party and the People's Party joined to form a coalition government. The Austrian People's Party ( German: Österreichische Volkspartei, or ÖVP) is an Austrian Political party. This caused widespread outrage both in Austria and the rest of Europe. The heads of government of the other fourteen EU members decided to cease cooperation with the Austrian government, as it was felt in many countries that the cordon sanitaire against coalitions with parties considered as right-wing extremists, which had mostly held in Western Europe since 1945, had been breached. Cordon sanitaire is a French phrase that literally translated means Quarantine line For several months, other national leaders refused to shake hands and socialize with members of the Schüssel government. This was described as "sanctions" by representatives of the ÖVP and FPÖ, and supporters of the government often blamed social democrats and President Thomas Klestil for them, and questioned their loyalty to the country. The Austrian People's Party ( German: Österreichische Volkspartei, or ÖVP) is an Austrian Political party. The Freedom Party of Austria ( Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, FPÖ is a political party in Austria. Thomas Klestil ( 4 November 1932 6 July 2004) was an Austrian Diplomat and Politician.
The EU leaders soon saw that their measures were counterproductive and returned to normality during the summer of 2000, even though the coalition remained unchanged. (See Austria legislative election, 1999. In Austria, the legislative election of October 3, 1999 (elections for the National Council of Austria) caused a major upheaval in the political ) Nevertheless it is not easy to measure effects of these "sanctions".
At the end of 2000, Jörg Haider stepped down from the leadership of the Freedom Party. This was widely regarded as a cynical move to appease foreign criticism, as he appeared to continue to control the party from behind the scenes, with Susanne Riess-Passer who was the following party chairwoman being only pro-forma in charge. Susanne Riess-Passer (born January 3 1961 in Braunau am Inn) is a former Austrian politician of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ Haider proclaimed that his move was just the fulfilment of his promise to Carinthian FPÖ voters he gave prior to the Carinthian election that had been held in the same year (see[5]).
Collapse of the (first) coalition and decline of the Freedom Party
In September 2002, after a special party convention ("Sonderparteitag") in Knittelfeld (Styria), the so-called Knittelfeld Putsch, Riess-Passer lost the support of many party members. Knittelfeld is a City in Styria, Austria, located on the banks of the Mur river Styria (Steiermark is a state or Bundesland, located in the southeast of Austria. Knittelfeld Putsch refers to a conference of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ which took place on 7 September 2002 in the small Austrian Susanne Riess-Passer (born January 3 1961 in Braunau am Inn) is a former Austrian politician of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ This meeting is also sometimes considered as a rebellion against the members which are currently involved in the government, which was thought to be started or at least supported by Haider. Thus Riess-Passer resigned as Vice Federal Chancellor and Party Chairwoman and with her went Karl-Heinz Grasser, the finance minister, and Peter Westenthaler, the head of the Freedom Party's Parliament Club. This resulted in new general elections in November. The election for the National Council of 24 November 2002 took place prematurely only three years after the last elections
They resulted in a landslide victory (42. 27% of the vote) of the conservative People's Party led by Federal Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel. The Austrian People's Party ( German: Österreichische Volkspartei, or ÖVP) is an Austrian Political party. Haider's Freedom Party, which in 1999 was slightly stronger than Schüssel's party, was (see [6]) reduced to 10. 16% of the vote.
In response, Haider stated that he had demanded that the leader of the FPÖ must step down to allow him to be leader, and on being refused, stated that he would leave federal politics permanently.
In October 2003, a cabinet reshuffle instigated by Haider took place. Haupt had to step down as Vice Chancellor to be replaced by Hubert Gorbach. Herbert Haupt (born September 28, 1947) is an Austrian Politician and former party chairman Gorbach (left and Chancellor
On 7 March 2004 the FPÖ won a plurality (42. Events 161 - Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius dies and is succeeded by co-Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " 5%) of the vote in the elections for the Carinthian parliament.

However, outside of Carinthia, Haider's charisma seems to have largely lost its appeal among voters. The FPÖ incurred devastating losses in several regional elections, the European Elections of 2004 and in elections for the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. Elections to the European Parliament were held from 10 June 2004 to 13 June 2004 in the 25 member states of the European Union, using varying election days according In each of those elections, it lost between one half to two thirds of their previous voters.
Creation of a new party
In consequence of this, the party, whose chairman was Haider's sister, Ursula Haubner, was riven by internal strife. On 4 April 2005, Haider, Haubner, Vice Chancellor Hubert Gorbach and other leading figures of the FPÖ announced the creation of a new party called Alliance for the Future of Austria (Bündnis Zukunft Österreich — BZÖ) with Haider as leader. Events 1581 - Francis Drake completes a circumnavigation of the world and is knighted by Elizabeth I.

In the following months the BZÖ tried to establish itself within the Austrian political landscape, with little success. The Alliance for the Future of Austria ( Bündnis Zukunft Österreich, BZÖ is a right-wing political party in Austria led until his death on Haider and his new party remained in the coalition with the People's party, leading to fierce fights between the FPÖ and BZÖ following the split-up. Subsequent polls showed that both parties were losing voter approval and in danger of failing to reach the critical 4% of the national vote barrier required for representation in parliament.
In the 2006 general elections, the BZÖ received 4. 1% of votes, thus narrowly securing its representation of 7 seats in parliament. The FPÖ, now led by Heinz-Christian Strache surpassed initial expectations, receiving 11. The Freedom Party of Austria ( Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, FPÖ is a political party in Austria.

Accusations of Nazi sympathy
Haider has made statements that seemed to imply support for some ideas of National Socialism. His first stint as governor in 1989 ended abruptly when he praised the employment policies of Nazi Germany and was forced to resign (see [8]) A few years later, he described World War II concentration camps as "punishment camps" and said the Nazi SS was "a part of the German army which should be honoured" (see [9]). He has also compared the deportation of Jews by the Nazis to the expulsion of Sudeten Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II (see [10]). Also, he has associated with Waffen-SS publicly, including attending a major remembrance ceremony (see [11]). On one occasion, he insulted Ariel Muzicant by saying "I do not understand how someone named Ariel [the name of a popular laundry detergent] can catch so much filth. Ariel Muzicant (born 1952 in Haifa, Israel) is the President of the Viennese Jewish community (also Israelite Cultural Organization "(see [12]) Haider's critics claimed this remark was anti-Semitism (see [13]).
