Majority of Germans View 'Reichsbürger' as Dangerous

A recent survey reveals widespread concern among Germans about the extremist potential of the 'Reichsbürger' movement.

A YouGov survey shows 62% of Germans consider the 'Reichsbürger' movement dangerous, with 69% supporting surveillance by the Verfassungsschutz.
Despite their notoriety, only 32% of Germans have a clear understanding of who 'Reichsbürger' are, highlighting the group's heterogeneity.
The 'Reichsbürger' reject the legitimacy of the Federal Republic of Germany, claiming the historical German Reich still exists.
Current legal proceedings involve 26 individuals, including a former AfD Bundestag member, accused of plotting a governmental overthrow.
AfD voters predominantly do not perceive 'Reichsbürger' as a threat and oppose their surveillance by state authorities.
