Citizens of the Reich - Ongoing searches in the northern Black Forest area.
Law enforcement agencies continued their investigation into two potential supporters of a suspected extremist group affiliated with "Reichsbuerger" ideologue Heinrich XIII. Prince Reuss on Wednesday. Officers from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the State Police of Baden-Württemberg were seen conducting searches in a forest area near Bad Teinach-Zavelstein, Calw. A number of police vehicles were parked in front of the targeted property.
The previous day, the Federal Prosecutor's Office had launched a raid in three German states against alleged members of the "Reichsbuerger" faction. Authorities conducted searches at seven locations and three plots in Baden-Württemberg, Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein, the Karlsruhe authorities confirmed. The individuals involved face charges of aiding a domestic terrorist organization. This has led to suspicions that they facilitated venues for the "Reichsbuerger" group's recruitment events.
