Frank Franz (born 21 November 1978) is a German

The Homeland (formerly known as the NPD), a neo-Nazi political party, since 2014.[1] Between 2005 and 2011 he was the national chairman of the NPD in the German state of Saarland
, and national press officer for the NPD from 2011 to 2014.

Biography

Franz was born in Völklingen. From 1997 to 2004, he served in the Bundeswehr, which he left as a Staff Sergeant. From 2007 onwards he worked as a programmer and artist, and owns an agency that handles the NPD's Internet activities.[2]

Internally, Franz is controversial, as he is seen as a protégé of Peter Marx, who was not confirmed as the party's Secretary General in the wake of a failed coup attempt in early 2009.[3]

Franz is separated from his wife, with whom he has three children. Since 2015, he has been dating a woman named Patricia Koperski, who guest-starred on German soap opera GZSZ and owns a right-wing publishing house.[1]
