Reichsbürger Movement Plans Major Rally in Braunschweig Amid Police Scrutiny
A large gathering of the Reichsbürger movement is set to take place in Braunschweig on April 18. The event, titled The 8th Grand Meeting of the Federal States – Peace, Freedom, Sovereignty, Homeland, and World Peace, will feature speeches and a march. Authorities have confirmed the schedule but have not released the exact meeting points or route.
The assembly is registered to run from 12:00 PM until 8:00 PM. While police have not given an official estimate for attendance, similar past events have attracted several hundred people.
Braunschweig Police Department will deploy officers to monitor the gathering. However, no specific security measures have been announced for the day. Organisers have kept the assembly locations and march route undisclosed. The *Reichsbürger* movement, known for its rejection of the modern German state, has held previous large-scale meetings. This year's theme centres on sovereignty and global peace, though further details remain limited.
The event will proceed under police observation, with no confirmed crowd size or security plans released. Authorities have not shared additional information about logistical arrangements. The gathering marks the eighth such meeting organised by the group in recent years.
