MOBIT e.V., the Mobile Counseling in Thuringia, is a central point of contact for people who are committed to democracy and against right-wing extremism. Since its founding in 2000, in response to an arson attack on the New Synagogue in Erfurt, MOBIT has established itself as a reliable partner of the democratic civil society. The association offers comprehensive counseling and educational services to support people in their commitment to a solidarity-based society.
MOBIT e.V. offers a variety of services aimed at promoting democratic values and countering far-right activities. These include:
The main mission of MOBIT e.V. is to strengthen the democratic civil society and counter far-right ideologies. The association sees itself as non-partisan and religiously unaffiliated and places great value on dialogue, transparency, and independence. MOBIT e.V. works needs- and resource-oriented to develop tailored solutions for local challenges.
MOBIT e.V. is committed to sustainable social development based on the principles of democracy and solidarity. The association actively engages in the analysis and documentation of far-right activities to raise awareness of the threats posed by them. By promoting civil courage and supporting local initiatives, MOBIT e.V. contributes to shaping a resilient and inclusive society.
In recent years, the far-right in Thuringia has changed significantly, bringing new challenges for civil society.

The association works closely with engaged citizens, scientists, and political actors to develop innovative approaches in the fight against right-wing extremism.
MOBIT e.V. remains an indispensable actor in the fight for democracy and human rights in Thuringia even after more than two decades. The association hopes for stronger legal support through a Democracy Promotion Act to secure its important work in the long term.
