摘要

Extremism is a social threat that also confronts organized sport in Germany. In view of this threat, a range of programs aimed at preventing extremism in organized sports has been established within German sports associations. This article covers this range of programs, focusing on programs run by state sports associations to prevent extremism. For this purpose, the article asks which extremism prevention programs are currently anchored in state sports associations, what distinguishes these programs conceptually, and to what extent these programs are linked to political funding programs for the prevention of extremism. The study is based on a qualitative research design that uses content analysis to systematically examine a catalogue of 168 official documents from state sports associations. The results show that the prevention of extremism is programmatically anchored in almost all state sports associations. Furthermore, the study reveals that existing programs are almost exclusively aimed at right-wing extremism. Although primary prevention approaches dominate at the prevention level, there are also advisory services that pursue a secondary or tertiary prevention approach. The study concludes that the commitment of state sports associations to preventing extremism is in many respects dependent on political funding programs. In the context of their programmatic commitment, the German state sports associations have become established as actors in the prevention of right-wing extremism.
