N2  - In this article, I give an overview on nativist street protests in Germany from the early nineteenth century to the present from an historical perspective. In a preliminary re-mark, I will reflect on some recent developments in Germany, where nativist protest campaigns  against  immigration  took  place  in  the  streets  when  voters  were  turning  towards the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). In the first section, I will outline an older tradition of anti-immigration protest in nineteenth and early twentieth century Germany, which is closely connected to modern antisemitism. In  sections  two  and  three,  I  will  retrace  how,  from  the  late  1960s  onward,  the  far  right in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) discovered concerns about immigra-tion in the German population, addressed them in protest campaigns and developed narratives to integrate such sentiments into a broader right-wing extremist ideology, itself deeply rooted in antisemitism. Studying nativism and the radical right from an actor-oriented  perspective,  I  will  focus  on  traditionalist  movements,  including  the  Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD) and neo-Nazi groups.
