Peter Hahne and Michael Ballweg: In fact, people would have to be out on the streets in masses


In an intense conversation with Querdenken founder Michael Ballweg and publicist and theologian Peter Hahne (moderated by Mark), a stark warning is issued about the current situation in Germany. The central conclusion: the population would actually have to take to the streets in large numbers to stand up for fundamental rights, peace, and truth – before it is too late.


The mood is shifting – but the momentum is missing

Peter Hahne reports on a moving phone call from Pastor Johannes Holmer, who recalls Ballweg’s fearless conduct during the COVID period. At that time, under travel restrictions, Ballweg simply continued despite police intervention (even after the plug was pulled). Stories like these continue to keep the memory of civil courage alive.

Ballweg himself describes how Querdenken was a genuine participatory movement in 2020: people organized buses, distributed flyers, and shared content independently. This grassroots energy is currently missing. While there are still well-attended smaller events (e.g., in the Uckermark region), a large-scale mobilization like in the past is not materializing. The new alternative media have only picked up the call-to-action video hesitantly.

The overarching motto: Peace, Freedom, Truth

As an overarching banner for a new demonstration, the participants propose the established Querdenken motto: Peace, Freedom, Truth. Many current issues could be bundled under it:
  • Coming to terms with COVID measures and the consequences of the policies
  • Inflation, energy crisis, and economic decline
  • Censorship and looming digital control (digital ID, digital euro)
  • War rhetoric, rearmament, and the question of peace
  • Fear of new pandemic policies and possible election interference
Ballweg emphasizes that it is not primarily about individual details (e.g., nuclear power or specific foreign policy questions), but about the big-picture direction. Only once the question of power has been resolved in favor of the citizens can concrete policy details be debated.

Who must participate?

The panel especially appeals to:
  • Farmers and truck drivers – their participation would send a powerful signal
  • Retirees – they have the least to lose and can serve as role models
  • Civil servants – especially older ones nearing retirement
  • Middle class and entrepreneurs – the Middle Class Initiative Brandenburg is also mentioned positively
Hahne and Ballweg warn against focusing solely on elections (e.g., in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). While AfD successes may provide hope, real change requires civil society pressure from below.

Challenges: reach, financing, repression

A central problem is the limited reach after major deletion waves on YouTube and Facebook. Hence the appeal: share the video, activate contacts, distribute flyers, organize buses.

Financially, the situation is difficult. Ballweg reports account closures and confiscated funds. One possible solution could be **Bitcoin** – decentralized and independent. At the same time, they are seeking solvent supporters willing to co-finance a large demonstration (estimated need: approx. 250,000 euros).

Urgent appeal

The three speakers agree: the window of opportunity is closing. With each additional crisis (new viruses, energy shortages, censorship laws), it becomes harder to still take to the streets peacefully. People must not wait until “there is nothing left to eat.”

Peter Hahne concludes with a call for courage and Christian hope: one should be guided by light, not darkness. Michael Ballweg emphasizes solidarity and cooperation instead of competition – Querdenken was and remains a participatory movement.

The conversation ends with a clear message: now is the time to act. Not just to watch, but to participate – whether through comments, contacts, donations, or being present on site. “In fact, people would have to be out on the streets in masses.” Whether they do so depends on each individual.
