Compact (stylized COMPACT, published with the subtitle "Magazine for Sovereignty" (German: Magazin für Souveränität) since October 2013) was a German media outlet, based on a monthly magazine. Compact was the most important popular magazine of the far-right in Germany. It unites different right-wing political milieus through strategic topic setting.[1] The Magazine was banned on 16 July 2024 in Germany.
The editor-in-chief of Compact is Jürgen Elsässer; the CEO of the publishing company Compact-Magazin GmbH is Kai Homilius and Elsässer. The editorial office is in a family home in Falkensee in Brandenburg, on the western outskirts of Berlin.
In March 2020, the head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, classified Compact as a "certainly far-right extremist" publication, citing "revisionist, conspiracy-theoriest, and xenophobic motives", antisemitism, Islamophobia, and contempt for the principles of the Federal Republic of Germany. Compact was classified as a Verdachtsfall (suspected case), the first step to the censorship of a publication in Germany.[2] Since 2015, Compact has aligned itself with the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Islamophobic Pegida movement.[3][4]
On 16 July 2024 the Federal Ministry of the Interior banned the Compact entity for "anti-human hate speech and agitation" with immediate effect.[5] Police searched nationwide business premises as well as the residences of a number of persons, which had financend or edited Compact, including editor-in-chief Elsässer.[5][6]
