The Stresemann Stiftung (foundation) is named after Gustav Stresemann, who was leader of the German People's Party between 1918-1929.[1]

It describes itself as an organisation 'committed to the preservation and advancement of the liberal-democratic legal system' after 'the example of the great statesman Gustav Stresemann who always understood the necessity of shielding Germany from extremist forces from the left as well as from the right' and claims to 'research on the historical development of the values of the Western community as well as of the threats of collectivist political and religious ideologies' and develop 'solutions to current problems and debates, particularly on issues of immigration, good governance, democracy and direct citizen participation, as well as the future of the European Union, its currency and values.'[2]

The organisation receives funding from Daniel Pipes' Middle East Forum.[3]

It is the publisher of Citizen Times an online German political magazine funded by the right wing Zionist US-based Middle East Forum, which publishes the work of many counterjihad writers.[1]

Also in 2012, it launched the 'Initiative for Freedom of the Press', which reportedly had the backing of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.[4]

In March 2013, the foundation launched a site called 'Islam Debate Germany'. In June this was followed by a site called 'Leftist Extremism in Germany' (Links Extrmismus).
