An eye-opening evening about the Gray Wolves in Bielefeld

On September 22, 2026, the Volkshochschule Bielefeld will focus on a topic that deserves the highest attention in political education and public debate: Turkish right-wing extremism in Germany. The lecture with Dr. Ismail Küpeli highlights the ideology, structures, and societal consequences of the Ülkücü movement – precisely, fact-based, and with a focus on the present.

Political education with depth and clear stance

The evening addresses where buzzwords often fall short. The focus is on nationalism, racism, anti-Semitism, and anti-queer mindsets attributed to the so-called Gray Wolves. For visitors, this creates an event experience that not only informs but also contextualizes and sensitizes.

A speaker with expertise and practical relevance

Dr. Ismail Küpeli is a political scientist, activist, and freelance author. He documents numerous lectures and events on Turkish right-wing extremism, nationalism, racism, and anti-Semitism in Germany and beyond on his website. This thematic depth also shapes the evening in Bielefeld and gives it high authority.

The place for focused exchange

The venue is the Historical Hall of the Volkshochschule Bielefeld in Ravensberger Park. The VHS is considered an established place for political education, discourse, and event planning. With its central location in Bielefeld, good public transport connections, and parking options in the surrounding area, it provides a suitable framework for a lecture evening that connects content and atmosphere.

What visitors can expect

The event starts at 7:00 PM and ends at 9:00 PM. Admission is free, according to course information, and no registration is required. Thus, the evening is aimed at everyone who wants to engage deeply with far-right movements, their historical development, and their effects on society.

If you are looking for political education with substance, experience an evening with clear insights, a lively audience atmosphere, and a topic that extends far beyond the lecture room. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to understand backgrounds and strengthen democratic perspectives.
