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.
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 attempted takeover of the party in early 2009.
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.
The renaming of the NPD to Die Heimat was spearheaded under the leadership of Frank Franz.
