- Abstract
The "Deutschlandrat" founded in 1983 was one of the most important attempts of the New Right to organise itself and create a common discussion platform in the history of the Federal Republic. Among its members were Armin Mohler, Hellmut Diwald and Franz Schönhuber, who had high hopes for this endeavour. The article takes a behind-the-scenes view and places it within the history of the New Right of the Bonn Republic. This shows that the "Deutschlandrat" was a project to regain influence on West German Conservatism, which had liberalised itself during the 1970s. The attempt to counter the marginalisation of the positions of the New Right in the West German debates about identity ultimately failed. Feeling resigned and disappointed, Mohler and Diwald as well as others turned towards party politics and got involved with the project of their friend Schönhuber, who wanted to use the Republikaner party founded in 1983 in order to turn New Right ideology into practical politics.
