Germany bans far-right ‘Kingdom of Germany’ group

  • On Tuesday, 13 May 2025, German authorities prohibited the major far-right Reichsbürger organization known as the Kingdom of Germany and detained four of its leaders during coordinated raids in seven federal states.

  • Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt declared that Germany is committed to firmly confronting individuals who threaten the country's democratic framework, indicating a strengthened approach to combating far-right extremism.
