Reichsbürger movement
Reichsbürgerbewegung ("Reich Citizens' Movement") or Reichsbürger ("Reich Citizen[s]", the German word is the same in singular and in plural) is a label for several anticonstitutional revisionist groups and individuals in Germany and elsewhere who reject the legitimacy of the modern German state, the Federal Republic of Germany, in favour of the German Reich.
One typical claim is that the German Reich[1] continues to exist in its pre-World War II borders, and that it is now governed by one of the Reichsbürger groups.
Several incidents with violent members of the movement and illegal weapons depots earned the movement the attention of the media and the German authorities.[2]: 20–21 The latter estimated that some 21,000 people belong to the movement in Germany as of July 2021[update].[3]
History
The original Kommissarische Reichsregierung (
The German Federal Ministry of the Interior concludes that only a small part of the movement is part of the organized neo-Nazi milieu proper (for about 5%). Nonetheless, as the movement rejects the existence of the Federal Republic, it is very likely that members of the movement violate the legal order of the Federal Republic.[8]

Definition and theories
A handbook of the state of Brandenburg explains the Reichsbürger movement as 'extremist' according to the framework of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz). There, 'extremist' refers to attitudes and ideologies that are directed against the basic conditions of a modern democracy and open society, such as the right of the people to elect their government democratically. The Verfassungsschutz defines the Reichsbürger movement as:
Groups and individuals who, for various motives and with various justifications, including [with reference to] the historical German Reich, conspiracy theory patterns of argumentation or a self-defined natural law, reject the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany and its legal system, deny the legitimacy of the democratically elected representatives or even define themselves in their entirety as being outside the legal system and are therefore prepared to commit violations of the legal system.[2]: 19–21
The Reichsbürger movement is characterized by a rejection of the modern
The Reichsbürger movement has used some of the concepts and techniques of the One People's Public Trust, an American sovereign citizen movement operated by pseudolaw ideologue Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf.[13]
Historical revisionism
The self-described Reichsbürger maintain that the Federal Republic of Germany is illegitimate and that the Reich's 1919
.In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany ("West Germany") and the German Democratic Republic ("East Germany", GDR) were established. The constitution of the Federal Republic mentioned a Germany and a German people beyond the Federal Republic. An example is article 23 (old version):
This Basic Law shall initially apply in the territories of the states Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Greater Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Schleswig-Holstein, Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern. In other parts of Germany it is to be put into force after their accession.[citation needed]
During the first twenty years, the Federal Republic tried to isolate the GDR. After this goal seemed to be no longer feasible, the Federal Republic of Germany entered into a treaty with the German Democratic Republic, the so called Basic Treaty to establish diplomatic relations and limited cooperation between the two German states. The Christian Democratic opposition in the Federal Republic rejected the treaty. The state of Bavaria even appealed to the Federal Constitutional Court asserting that the Basic Treaty violated the constitutional objective of re-unification.[14]
The judgement of the Court on July 31, 1973, ruled that the Basic Treaty does not violate the constitution because it does not make a German re-unification impossible. In its judgement, the Court also declared:
The Basic Law – not only a thesis of international law doctrine and constitutional law doctrine! – assumes that the German Reich survived the collapse in 1945 and did not perish either with the capitulation or through the exercise of foreign state power in Germany by the Allied occupying powers or later ... This also corresponds to the established jurisdiction of the Federal Constitutional Court, to which the Senate adheres. The German Reich continues to exist ..., still possesses legal capacity, but is not itself capable of acting as an entire state for lack of organisation, in particular for lack of institutionalised organs. ... With the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, not a new West German state was founded, but a part of Germany was reorganised. ... The Federal Republic of Germany is therefore not the "legal successor" of the German Reich, but as a state identical with the state of the "German Reich", although "partially identical" with regard to its spatial extent, so that in this respect the identity does not claim exclusivity. The Federal Republic therefore does not encompass the whole of Germany as far as its constitutive people and its constitutive territory are concerned, irrespective of the fact that it recognises a uniform constitutive people of the subject of international law "Germany" (German Reich), to which its own population belongs as an inseparable part, and a uniform constitutive territory "Germany" (German Reich), to which its own territory belongs as a likewise inseparable part. In terms of constitutional law, it restricts its sovereign power to the "area of application of the Basic Law" ..., but also feels responsible for the whole of Germany (cf. Preamble of the Basic Law)."[15]
The Reichsbürger usually only cite the part that the German Reich survived the collapse. They remain silent on the Court's statement that the Federal Republic is identical to it. Therefore, many members of the Reichsbürger movement typically conclude that the German Reich still "exists" and that the Federal Republic of Germany is not an actual sovereign state but a corporation created by Allied nations after World War II.
Consequently, many Reichsbürger groups claim that they have restored the governmental bodies of the German Reich and now act as the official German government (of the German Reich). In practice, a group of Reichsbürger had a meeting that 'elected' the office holders of the Reich (e.g., Reich chancellor, Reich President). As there are several of such groups, there are several people in Germany who claim these offices.
Some Reichsbürger groups maintain a different point of view. According to them, the Weimar constitution was not legitimate and therefore the older imperial constitution of 1871 is still in effect. These people claim to be Kaiser (emperor), leader of Prussia etc.
Still other groups have 'created', in their point of view, German sovereign states without historical precedent, for example a Kingdom of Germany or a regional entity. Other groups do not operate under the label of a 'restored' or new German state but call themselves simply Selbstverwalter (literally, 'someone who governs himself'). They reject the Federal Republic and claim that their house is a sovereign entity.[16]
Antisemitism
According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, some of the Reichsbürger groups and individuals hold antisemitic views. One example is the organization "Geeinte deutsche Völker und Stämme", which was prohibited in March 2020: it promotes the idea that Jews and Muslims have no human rights nor a right to property.[3]
A handbook of the Amadeu Antonio Stiftung holds that most views of the "Reichsideologie" have an antisemitic core. Usually the Reichsbürger use antisemitic codes, such as "those from the Eastern Coast" or "the Rothschilds". Antisemitic conspiracy theories are attractive for the people in the Reichsbürger movement because they provide a simple explanation of the world by dividing humanity into friends and foes. A group of enemies of the people is made responsible for wars and poverty.[17]
Membership
In April 2018[update], Germany's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), estimated that Reichsbürger movement membership had grown by 80% over the previous two years, more than estimated earlier, with a total of 18,000 adherents, of whom 950 were categorized as right-wing extremists.[18] This marked an increase from BfV's 2016 estimate of 10,000 adherents[18] and 2017 estimate of 12,600 adherents.[19] The increase in numbers may be attributable to more adherents becoming known to authorities, rather than an actual increase in the number of adherents.[18] The heterogeneity of the movement and its division into many small groups that are often independent of one another make it difficult to estimate the number of active Reichsbürger.[20]
Reichsbürger adherents are scattered around Germany, but concentrated in the southern and eastern parts of the country,
Adherents tend to be older,
Activities
As of 2009, there was no reliable count of the number of KRRs then existing, but the KRR FAQ, an online registry maintained by a German jurist, lists some 60 persons or organizations associated with operating competing KRRs. Several (though by no means all) KRRs have links to
Some KRRs are ready to issue, for a fee, "official" documents such as building permits, and driving licences, which their adherents may attempt to use in everyday life. In one instance, Wolfgang Ebel's KRR issued an "excavation permit" to the Principality of Sealand (a micronation), who then had men dig up a plot of land in the Harz region in search of the Amber Room for two weeks, until the landowner hired a private security service to drive them off.[22] Similarly, in 2002 Ebel's KRR "sold" the Hakeburg , a manor in Kleinmachnow south of the Berlin city limits that had been owned by the German Reichspost (and therefore, according to Ebel, by his KRR) to one of the two competing governments of Sealand, thus creating, in their view, an enclave of Sealand in Germany.[23]
KRR adherents have also on occasion refused to pay taxes or fines, arguing that the laws providing for such sanctions have no constitutional basis. In the ensuing judicial proceedings, they refuse to recognize the courts as legitimate.[24] Some also pursue their activities abroad. In 2009, after Swiss authorities refused to recognize the "Reich Driving Licence" of a German KRR adherent, he unsuccessfully appealed the case up to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.
Wolfgang Ebel's original organization, in particular, continues to attempt enforcing its asserted authority through attempts at intimidation.
Strategies
As reported by the television network ARD, some activist of Reichsbürger movement founded Jewish Associations (Qahal) (Jüdische Gemeinden) on different places in Germany. Possible aim is to spread antisemitic theories and claim to be the "true Jews". Also to gain founding from public entities. The Berlin citizen Iwan Götz claimed to be Rischon leZion of this groups.[25]
Violence by Reichsbürger activists
In 2016, Adrian Ursache, a self-proclaimed Reichsbürger and the 1998 winner of the "Mister Germany" beauty contest, violently resisted his eviction from his house in Reuden. When the German police arrived on scene they encountered a group of around 120 people, who were staying on Ursache's and his in-law's property. Ursache deemed his property as part of the self-proclaimed "State of Ur" and flew the flag of the old German Reich above the home. After a first eviction attempt failed, the German police returned with a special response team the day after. When the eviction started, Ursache opened fire and injured two officers. Ursache was shot and rushed to a hospital.[20][26][27] In 2019, Ursache was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 7 years in prison.[27]
Also in 2016, in
In Höxter, North Rhine-Westphalia, in 2014, one Reichsbürger group (the "Free State of Prussia") attempted to smuggle weapons into Germany in an attempt to create its own militia.[11] Police raids have found large stockpiles of guns and ammunition hoarded by Reichsbürger adherents.[11] In 2018, the German magazine Focus reported that Reichsbürger adherents had been attempting to build an armed militia in preparation for "Day X"—"an imagined day of reckoning or uprising against the German government".[33]
In April 2022 four members of a Reichsbürger group called United Patriots (German: Vereinte Patrioten) were detained for plotting to overthrow the government.[34] They planned to destroy electrical substations and power lines through bomb attacks to cause a nationwide power outage to create 'civil war-like' conditions.[35] Two members are also alleged to have been plotting to kidnap the German health minister Karl Lauterbach.[34] Lauterbach was said to have been aware of the plans.[35]
Patriotic Union
"Patriotic Union" (Patriotische Union) or "The Council" (Der Rat) is the name of a German right-wing extremist Reichsbürger group. It aims is to establish a new government in Germany in the tradition of the German Empire of 1871. The gang wanted to provoke chaos and a civil war in Germany and thus take over power in the Federal Republic of Germany. Among other things, the German Bundestag was to be taken by force of arms and taking into account, that there will be killings of people.
Aims
The group wanted to establish a new government ('Council'). Since November 2021 the network had been planning an armed attack on the
Members
Heinrich Reuss, a German aristocrat, is alleged to have led the group and been the planned head of state of the group.[37]
The group, which comprised more than a hundred people, was divided into areas of responsibility. The Federal Public Prosecutor has 52 suspects and arrested 25 of them.
The gang also included several former members of the
A lawyer and judge in the state of Berlin, Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, was designated as the future "Minister of Justice". Malsack-Winkemann was a member of the German Bundestag from 2017 to 2021 for the AfD and was arrested on December 7, 2022. The group included at least one other AfD politician, an AfD Stadtrat from Olbernhau in the Saxon Ore Mountains.[39]
Other members were doctors and at least one was an entrepreneur.
2022 investigations and arrests
German police authorities have been investigating the group since spring 2022. The group is also made up of parts of the radicalized German
Over 3,000 police officers, including officers of the
Those arrested included aristocrat Heinrich Reuss (who styles himself "Heinrich XIII, Prince Reuss of Greiz") a 71-year-old descendant of the House of Reuß, who owns an estate in Thuringia where the group met, several of his followers, and a 69-year-old former Bundeswehr parachutist commander identified as Rüdiger von P.[40][44] Also arrested was Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, a former Alternative for Germany (AfD) member of the Bundestag and a current judge.[40][42][45]
Police connections with Reichsbürger movement
There were renewed calls for more serious measures against the movement in 2016, including revocation of firearms permits and seizure of their weapons, following disciplinary action against police officers allegedly connected to the movement.
