Bauhaus, the architectural design school created in Germany in 1919 and for some odd reason still influential in many parts of the world, is a contentious subject in East Germany, according to Reuters.
Bauhaus itself isn't the issue. It's those who object to boxy, ugly brutalist buildings replacing traditional structures. Those objectors are attempting to make a point that was also that of 1930's Nazis. That makes them the heirs of the Nazi culture.

Members of the Alternative for Deutschland., invariably designated in the press, both locally and internationally, as "far right wing", aren't in favor of new construction following Bauhaus ideas so they are Nazis. It's important not to continue or resurrect atavistic Nazi concepts. But current Germans and in fact people all over the world drink beer, eat sausages, and brush their teeth just as the Hitlerites did. But they are not labelled as Nazis.
What makes the AdF neo-nazis is their refusal to accept as normal idiotic government policies. They oppose what has become unlimited immigration and government subsidies for the invaders, similar to what is occurring in the US. They also oppose involvement in the Ukraine-Russia fiasco and favor diplomacy being used to settle an issue with the potential of destroying modern civilization. The AdF finds the efforts to eliminate climate change as futile and destructive of the German economy, both for business and ordinary citizens. Apparently that makes them Nazis, at least in the eyes of their political adversaries. It's similar to what is occurring in the US where politicians label their electoral opponents as fascists or commies. It's just easier that way.
