After a meeting of supporters of the lateral thinkers and “Reichsbürger” scene in Coburg was dissolved, the authorities seized firearms from a participant. The weapons of the woman living in Coburg and attributed to the “Reichsbürger” scene would now be kept safe, the city’s regulatory office announced on Friday. According to media reports, the woman was in possession of a large-caliber revolver, among other things.
At the meeting at the Waldorf school, members of the scene from many parts of Germany had gathered without the knowledge of the school management. According to media reports, they were admitted by the school’s caretaker, who has since been fired.
“Reich citizens” are people who reject the Federal Republic of Germany as a state entity and often accuse its organs of corruption and reprehensible goals. They often proclaim their own states and laws and categorically reject any state authority.
