Abstract
In November 2011 the German public was caught off guard by a case of right-wing terrorism. The case disclosed the hitherto unknown extent of right-wing violence. Based on selected print media reports on this event, this chapter shows how media reports of the case worked with gender stereotypes in their published pictures and statements. The analysis of articles in different print media shows that these gender stereotypes are based on right-wing extremist ideology. Further on, the chapter shows how Beate Zschaepe and other witnesses from the NSU network have resorted to gender stereotypical images during the trial to describe themselves and their activities. This has allowed them to water down the political significance of their activities.
