German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has banned the far-right group 'Konigsreich Deutschland', citing its attempts to create a 'counter-state' and its illegal economic activities. Police raids across seven states led to significant arrests, including the group's leader Peter Fitzek. Dobrindt emphasized that the group's actions threaten democracy in Germany and rely on antisemitic conspiracy theories to justify their claims. The movement, which denies the legitimacy of Germany's government, has been under scrutiny for its growing influence and potential for violence, particularly noted in a foiled plot against the government in 2022.
The members of this association have created a 'counter-state' in our country and built up criminal economic structures. In this way, they undermine the rule of law and the Federal Republic's monopoly on the legitimate use of force.
The 'Kingdom of Germany' group is the biggest association within the Reichsburger scene, whose supporters deny the legitimacy of Germany's post-World War II Federal Republic.
