Defendant Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss (2nd right) is hugged
by his lawyers as he arrives for the continuation of the so-called
‘Reichsbuerger’ trial.
In total, nine ringleaders accused of treason are believed
to have planned the resurrection of the German Reich, or empire, through
violence, by storming the Bundestag, the national parliament, and kidnapping
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, 72, is accused of leading the
plot, which would have led to him becoming Germany’s head of state. The prince
appeared at a specially erected high-security courtroom in Frankfurt alongside
eight other defendants, including former judge Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, who
was allegedly ready to become minister of justice.
