German authorities arrested the prince of the alleged of the failed coup in Germany
On Wednesday, the German police arrested more than 25 people accused of attempting to overthrow the regime in Germany and who joined the “Citizens of the Second Reich” movement.
Among the arrested persons was a German man called “Prince” and called Heinrich XIII, at the age of 71, and he was the planner of this failed attempt to overthrow the regime.
The German public prosecutor’s office said those who used the title of prince and belonged to the royal house of Reuss, which ruled parts of East Germany, communicated with representatives of Russia, whom the group saw as the central contact for establishing its new regime once the German government was overthrown.
Reuss was the name of several historical states located in present-day Thuringia, Germany, and its rulers, the House of Reuss, named all their male children Heinrich after the end of the 12th century, in honor of Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor, to whom they owed the estates of Lleda and Gera.
