Conspiracy Ideologist Ken Jebsen Draws Crowd in Bodenheim
Bodenheim, Germany – Conspiracy ideologist Ken Jebsen appeared at a public event in Bodenheim yesterday, attracting a sizable crowd and sparking concern among local observers. The event, held Tuesday, September 9, 2025, saw Jebsen address attendees on topics central to his long-held, and widely disputed, theories.
Jebsen, a prominent figure in Germany’s “Querdenker” (lateral thinker) movement, has repeatedly promoted narratives questioning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the legitimacy of government policies, and the existence of a “New World Order.” His presence in Bodenheim underscores the continued reach of conspiracy ideologies within the region and raises questions about potential radicalization. The SWR Studio Mainz recently launched a WhatsApp channel to provide news and data from Rheinhessen and the Nahe region,including coverage of such events.
Details regarding the specific venue and organizer of the Bodenheim event remain limited. Though, local reports indicate Jebsen’s appearance was publicized through online channels frequented by adherents of conspiracy theories. Attendees reportedly included individuals from across Rheinland-Pfalz and neighboring states.
jebsen’s rhetoric has previously drawn criticism from German intelligence agencies, who have identified his narratives as contributing to anti-democratic sentiment and potentially inciting violence. His continued public appearances highlight the challenge of countering disinformation and promoting critical thinking in the face of increasingly sophisticated online propaganda.
