The reason for the Rauswurf, which takes effect in February: Matthes had as accomplices to carry out an academic event hampered by violence and peer applications from exercising his rights and obligations held. That Matthes "the university lasting peace disturbed", the Committee notes Exmatrikulation - after the Higher Education Act of Rhineland-Palatinate, the requirement for a compulsory Exmatrikulation.

The neo-Nazi NPD and had a fellow officer a year ago krankenhausreif and was beaten in August in favor of Mainz court for insulting and serious injury to
eleven months imprisonment on probation and social convicted, his lawyers appealed.

The first attempt, Matthes of the University to throw, it was last summer, a month before the trial, failed. Matthes had the fight even as
a kind of duel between men described, which, after a meeting at the library on the parking lot was out. His opponent, a student of history, described the dispute so that Matthes' senses as "had occurred to him.

"We do not tolerate violence in our university"

Furthermore, the Committee Exmatrikulation apparently was not yet known that Matthes before his outrage was negatively noticed: When an event for the Wehrmacht exhibition was Matthes with just over a dozen other radical right in November 2006 tried to intrude into the auditorium. They wanted the historian Hannes Heer a keynote lecture on "The Third Reich of Guido Knopp - from the media dealing with the Nazi past". The police had Matthes as one of the interferer identified, said the "Frankfurter Rundschau".

University President George Krausch said now that the University of Mainz stand for diversity, tolerance and humanity. "We do not tolerate violence against our institution," said Krausch. Matthes by his behavior had the reputation of the university and the students sustained disturbed. The committee chairman Rolf Höfel, former President of the Administrative Court in Mainz, said the decision had been unanimously.

Einschreibesperre is only valid for one semester

The right-wing extremist attitudes of 24-year history and philosophy students have no role to play, so Höfel. The decisive factor was that the peace Matthes to have disrupted the university. The Rauswurf is not final. For the coming winter semester, the Matthes again appear at the university, only within a period of six months should the Hessian NPD Vice again at the university of Mainz.

The Higher Education Act provides for closure of up to two years ago, said Höfel. The punishment was less because the process for so long had drawn. Furthermore, the committee members "significantly worse incidents" can imagine, said Höfel. Matthes had the possibility to appeal against his Exmatrikulation plea submitted to the Administrative Mainz.

Roland Schaefer, spokesman for the Alliance's "Nazi-free university" and Juso-chairman in the district Mainz-Bingen, welcomed the decision, but said that Rauswurf was only a partial success, as right-wing extremism is not a person to be ascertained. Only recently were toilets on the campus again on anti-Semitic graffiti were discovered. His alliance remain active. Schaefer is also behind the initiative "against Rheinhessen justice". In his home areas Mainz-Bingen Mario Matthes led the district.
