The NDR published a documentary called Mein Nachbar ist Nazi – Was tun? (English: My neighbor is a Nazi - what should I do?) in March 2021 which was primarily filmed in the municipality and concerned itself with the independent municipal council member Sebastian Richter, a former NPD politician who claimed adherence to pre-Hitler Nazism.[4] Ragnar Böhm, the other independent municipal council member, who has also been noted as a neo-Nazi,[5] wasn't strongly featured in the documentary due to declining an interview however.[4]
There have been several events and organizations, such as Wage Mut!, in Groß Krams that wish to resist and reverse the influence of the far-right in the municipality.[5][6][7]
