In 1954, amidst the intellectual heart of Vienna, the Wiener Akademikerbund emerged. This right-wing conservative think tank, founded by Reinhard Kamitz, aimed to champion neoliberal and Christian values. The Wiener Akademikerbund, originally associated with the Austrian People’s Party, later carved its own path. In 2011, the Wiener Akademikerbund challenged the 1947 Prohibition Act. This bold move led to its expulsion from the party. This marked a turning point for the organization. The Wiener Akademikerbund became known for its outspoken stance against political correctness and its advocacy for free speech. The organization actively participates in the annual “March for the Family”. This demonstration expresses their views on LGBT rights and queer feminist demands. In 2011, the Wiener Akademikerbund presented the “Vienna Integration Manifesto”. This document, developed with some liberal Muslims, proposed that Muslim immigrants in Austria should identify as cultural Christians. This controversial proposal sparked public debate and further solidified the Wiener Akademikerbund’s position in Austrian political discourse. The Wiener Akademikerbund’s influence extended to the formation of the Identitäre Bewegung Österreich (IBÖ) in 2013. This further cemented their role in shaping right-wing political thought in Austria. The Wiener Akademikerbund continues to be a prominent voice in Austrian political discourse. Their views and activities frequently generate discussion and controversy.
