The entrance to the parallel universe is at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Wittenberg district of Reinsdorf. The headquarters of the “Kingdom of Germany” is located behind a gate with a camouflage green textile tarpaulin right next to the factory outlet of the meat and sausage manufacturer, which offers “a varied and fresh daily lunch”. The imperial citizen and self-proclaimed king Peter Fitzek controls his world from this factory yard, with an imagined legal system and flag, his own fantasy currency, merchandise shop and commercially available conspiracy myths.
