Radicalists I wanted it causes civil war
The failed coup in Germany was supposed to put Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss zu Köstritz at the head of the “new Reich”, Western media reported on Wednesday. He belongs to a Thuringian princely family, from which descends Queen Eleanor of Bulgaria, second wife of Ferdinand I.. The male descendants of Reuss zu Köstritz bear only the name Heinrich followed by a number. Heinrich IV was the father of the famous Bulgarian queen Eleonora.
The coup attempt, which aimed to restore order in the German Empire of 1871, became known in the early morning of December 7th. The police carried out a large-scale operation resulting in the arrest of 25 people. They were all representatives of the radical organization called “Reich Citizens Movement” or “Reichsbürger”, which did not recognize the existence of the German state..
Around 3,000 police officers were deployed to 11 of Germany’s 16 federal states for the action. 130 places were searched. 22 of those arrested are considered Reichsburger and two are considered Tatars. One of them is the fanatical prince of the Bulgarian Queen Eleonora’s lineage. Another 27 people are suspected of involvement in the plot. According to German intelligence, there are around 21,000 followers of the movement in the country.
Prince Heinrich XIV, spokesman for the Royce princely family, described the suitors of the regent movement in July as a “confused old man” who “is now
supporter of the disappointments of conspiratorial theory”
The voice of the family tried to alienate its representatives from him, emphasizing that Heinrich XIII left the family 14 years ago at his discretion, recalls “Welt”.
Since then, the 71-year-old prince has been considered persona non grata in the Royce household due to his crazy conspiracy theories. On the Reichsburg scene, however, he earned a reputation as a courageous educator. Videos of him are shared on social networks and are widely endorsed by “dissidents”. One of the platforms on which he enjoys a following is Telegram.
According to law enforcement agencies, the goal of the terrorist movement was probably for Heinrich XIII and his associates to create the “Principality of Royce”. To reach a “peace treaty” with the Allied Powers, winners of World War II, the prince even established contacts with representatives of Russia. According to the Attorney General
no indication however, Russians do they reacted positive of the proposal
The plan of those involved in the plot was to storm the Reichstag building, cause conditions similar to a civil war by attacking the electricity supply, and overthrow the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz to form a new one. A “cabinet of shadows” has already been prepared. Important ministerial positions were pre-selected, which made the scandal even more massive because the names of authoritative people were involved.

An active soldier and several reservists are also among the suspects in the large-scale investigation by the German authorities. They are part of the special forces command of the Bundeswehr.
Lead investigators described the operation against the group as unprecedented. Interior Minister Nancy Feiser assured the Germans that the authorities would respond with all the severity of the law “against enemies of democracy”.

“I hope you are following what is happening in Germany. What a major scandal there is with espionage, there are people arrested and this has yet to unfold. Don’t let any Bulgarian rabbit jump out of there,” he said surprisingly. The reason for the suspicions of him is “the scale of what is developing.” “Things are very interesting, but I don’t want to speculate, I know a lot of things,” Atanasov added.
Ferdinand I’s wife save boyan church
Eleanor of Bulgaria was the second wife of King Ferdinand I. They were married in 1908 in Coburg. Before that, she was a princess of Reuss, today’s German federal state of Thuringia.
Eleonora wins the love of the Bulgarians with her care. On her initiative, in 1910, a fund was created to raise funds for deaf and blind children, as well as the Children’s Sanatorium for Bone Tuberculosis near Varna. Thanks to her, the Boyan church was saved, which had to be destroyed in 1912. During the wars, Eleonora organized courses for nurses, being herself a nurse at the front. She also presented the main flag of the Bulgarian Macedonian-Edrine militia and, together with Princess Clementine of Bourbon-Orléans, are the main donors of the Bulgarian Red Cross. The Queen is also the founder of the women’s society ‘Samariyanka’, in support of the BCH. Before that, Eleonora participated in the Russo-Japanese War as a Sister of Mercy, for which she was awarded the Order of “St. Anna”-“Medal of the Red Cross”. Her motto is “Loyalty and Perseverance”. In 1912 she was appointed commander of the 24th Black Sea Regiment, which has since been called “Her Majesty Queen Eleanor’s Regiment”. She is also the only female recipient of the IV degree Military Order “For Courage”. She was also awarded the German order “Louisa-1814”, presented by Emperor Wilhelm in May 1912 in Berlin.
The queen fell seriously ill and died on September 12, 1917. According to her will, she was buried in the Boyan Church. Ivan Vazov dedicated the following lines to her:
“Woman wearing a crown,
merciful sister,
sister of the heroes of all the cruel world,
Queen, your love is victorious,
a soul woven of lofty feelings.
“Reichsburger”: The German monster movement that it has become too much radical and dangerous
His followers they print their own passports and driving licenses
The Reichsbürger is a radical German movement, and its supporters have for years been the object of national ridicule, dismissed as monsters. However, they are becoming more radical and dangerous, the security services are categorical. They do not recognize democratic Germany and their actions have attracted the attention of the authorities in recent years, notes Deutsche Welle. The Reichsburgers denied the existence of the Federal Republic after the Second World War. They believe that the current state is nothing more than an administrative construct still occupied by Western powers: the United States, Great Britain and France. For them, the borders of the German Empire of 1937 still exist.
“Reichsbürger” translates as “Citizens of the Reich”. The movement was founded in 1871 and they are no strangers to violence. It consists of several small groups located mainly in Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bavaria.
Its members do not accept legality of state authorities e refuse to pay taxes
having declared their own small national territories. They are called “Second German Empire”, “Free Prussia” or “Principality of Germany”.
Followers of the movement print their passports and driving licenses. They even produce T-shirts and flags for promotional purposes. “Reichsbürger” ignores the fact that this activity is illegal and proudly announces its intention to “continue the fight against the Federal Republic of Germany” on its online platforms.
The German internal intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), estimates that there are around 21,000 people in the country who belong to the “Reichsbürger”, and 5% of them are classified as far-right extremists . Most are men. On average, they are over 50 years old and profess right-wing populist, anti-Semitic and Nazi ideologies. A district court judge in Saxony-Anhalt described their views as conspiracy theories.
The Reichsbürger was radicalized during the COVID-19 pandemic when its members refused to adhere to any restrictions imposed by the authorities. Despite the system’s rejection, the movement has flooded the German courts with appeals and appeals against injunctions and payment reminders issued by local authorities. Regardless of the content, officials are required to process any formal requests made. Many mayors protested that in addition to having to deal with a lot of useless work, they were also attacked by the Reichsburgers not only verbally but also physically. Members
film often such attacks and then they post them online
The group’s affinity for firearms and ammunition worries the authorities. The latest report from the BfV on the “Reichsbürger” states that they are ready to commit serious acts of violence. Police found large caches of weapons and ammunition during searches of their hideouts. Since a significant number of them are former soldiers of the Bundeswehr and the GDR’s National People’s Army, among them are men with special military training, which is why the movement is considered particularly dangerous.
Over the years Reichsbürger supporters carried out attacks on police officers at demonstrations, with the accused often arguing that they had the right to defend their property. In Hochster, North Rhine-Westphalia, a Free Prussian group tried to establish its own police force in 2014 by smuggling weapons out of the country.
