context_page_description: Arsch huh, Zäng ussenander is the motto and name of a campaign against right-wing violence in Cologne, Germany. The colloquial slogan in the local dialect Kölsch literally means "Ass up, teeth apart!" encouraging people to not look away but to stand up, speak out and take action against racism and injustice.
context_section_description: On the 20 September 2008, a follow-up event was held sixteen years after the original "Arsch huh" concert under the revised motto "Köln stellt sich quer" at the Domplatte in Cologne.
  This movement formed as a reaction to attempts of the politically-right party "Pro Köln" to organize a gathering of European extreme-right groups in Cologne in form of a so-called "anti-islamization congress". "Pro Köln" is classified as an extreme-right group by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in NRW.
  Ten-thousands of people came together in the center of the city for a demonstration to protest against right-wing extremism and neo-nazism. Thereby, the planned right-wing gathering could be preempted and eventually prevented from occurring.
