Overview

• Police estimated 300 to 350 Reichsbürger and Selbstverwalter took part in the rally on Karlsruhe’s Schlossplatz, compared with the city’s projection of about 500 attendees.
• Participants waved numerous imperial flags and rallied under the slogan “Das sechste große Treffen der Bundesstaaten, Heimath und Weltfrieden” near the Federal Constitutional Court.
• A speaker on stage denounced the Federal Republic as “not our Germany” and urged resistance “against the dictatorship in our country.”
• Roughly 250 counter-demonstrators, including local Antifa activists, gathered within sight and hearing of the main rally while police maintained a visible presence.
• The Baden-Württemberg intelligence service regards these large meetings as some of the most well-attended events of the Reichsbürger milieu to date.
