Reichsbürger
"Reichsbürger" (Reich Citizens) is a collective label used for a large number of groups that, despite ideological differences, have one thing in common: they dispute the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany and refuse to recognise its legal system. The German intelligence agencies estimate that there are approximately 15,000 people in the Reichsbürger scene throughout Germany (as at: third quarter of 2017). The intelligence authorities regard around 900 of them as right-wing extremists.1
