The failed coup in Germany, what is the extreme movement "Rich
"Reichsbürger" movement

They are radical and violent and do not recognize the democratic state of Germany. In recent years, the 'Reichsbürger' (wealthy citizens), have attracted the attention of the German authorities.

Who are they and what risk do they expose? 

Members of the 'Reichsbürger' movement deny the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany, and they even believe that the current state is nothing more than an administrative construct, which is occupied by the Western powers, the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

For them, the borders of the German Empire of 1937 still exist. These are the self-proclaimed 'Reichsbürger', which translates to 'wealthy citizens' founded in 1871 and they are not against violence.

As Deutsche Welle reports , the 'Reichsbürger' movement is made up of a small number of groups and individuals, whose location is mostly in Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bavaria.

They refuse to pay taxes and have self-proclaimed their own small territories, which they call the 'Second German Empire', the 'Free State of Prussia,' or the 'Principate of Germany'.

Members of this group print their own passports and licenses. They even produce t-shirts and flags with their logos.

They have even proudly announced their intention to "continue the war against the Federal Republic of Germany" on their websites.

Extreme acts of violence

The German authorities have repeatedly expressed their concern regarding the disposal of firearms by this group. Referring to the latest report of the BfV (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) about this group it says that they are ready to commit "serious acts of violence".

Referring to the latest developments today, where some members of this group ended up behind bars, after being accused of an attempted coup against the parliament in Germany, the Police found large caches of weapons and ammunition during the checks of their homes.

Since a significant part of the group consists of former Bundeswehr and NVA (People's National Army of the German Democratic Republic), among them men with special military training, the group is considered particularly dangerous.

In recent years, German authorities have revoked the gun permits of hundreds of followers of the movement, this on the grounds that followers of the 'Reichsbürger' have carried out attacks on police officers during raids, with the claim that they have the right to defend their "property ".

In 2021, some 'Reichsbürger' were among the most active protesters against the COVID-19 restrictions, who stormed the steps of the Reichstag building in Berlin.
