BERLIN, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss is one of the last descendents of a dynasty that once ruled over swathes of eastern Germany. He is suspected of hoping to become the country's new leader in a violent coup to overthrow the democratic order.

The 71-year-old was one of 25 members and supporters of a far-right group planning the alleged putsch who were arrested early on Wednesday in nationwide raids, according to the authorities.

While officially, there are no princes and princesses any more in Germany, some descendents like Heinrich have continued to use the title.

 

"The trials of people allegedly connected to the so-called Reichsbürger movement are underway with those accused of being ringleaders set to appear before judges.

Plotters are said to have hatched a scheme to violently overthrow the German government.

Investigators claim that the conspiracy theorists believed the country was being run by a “deep state”.

The hearing in Frankfurt on Tuesday is the highest profile of three trials following nationwide raids in 2022."
