In this case, the conspirators are members of a disparate movement known as Reichsbürger, or “citizens of the Reich.” (This word can be plural or singular.) The Reich in this case is the Second Reich, the German empire that stood from 1871 to 1918.The ideology behind this movement has been promoted since the 1970s, when the jurist-and Holocaust denier-Manfred Roeder spread it in an attempt to revive both National Socialism and pre-Nazi imperial Germany. Within these global linkages, many conspiracy theories-on the far left as well as the far right-have been incorporated into the QAnon intellectual space, and German conspiracy theories are no exception. This confluence of the local and the global is characteristic of German right-wing extremism, and it can produce unexpected results, as I’ve written before for Foreign Policy. It’s an intensely German group, rooted in a bizarre interpretation of German history. But this isn’t a local imitation of an American original, although it combines German ideas with U.S. The conspirators modeled this attack, which they had been planning since November 2021, on the aborted attack by far-right supporters of former President Donald Trump on the U.S. At least 25 others have been accused of involvement in the plot.
7, authorities across Germany arrested at least 25 people in connection to a conspiracy to storm the Bundestag, attack the German power grid, and overthrow the German government.
