Another related trial is underway in Koblenz, involving a 44-year-old man accused of planning a coup and kidnapping as a ringleader of the 'United Patriots.'

The Reichsbürger movement claims that the German Empire, which existed from 1871 to 1945, still exists, rejecting modern German statehood.

The trial of a 38-year-old woman, accused of being a member of the 'Kaiserreichsgruppe,' began today at the Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Celle, Germany, after a one-week delay.

She is alleged to have actively participated in this terrorist organization, which aims to establish a government modeled after the German Empire.

The 'Kaiserreichsgruppe' reportedly plotted a nationwide power outage and the kidnapping of Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach in 2022.

Investigators classify the 'Kaiserreichsgruppe' as part of the broader Reichsbürger scene, which does not recognize the legitimacy of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Prosecutors claim the defendant attended two meetings of the group in Verden and Schlotheim, contributing to plans involving technical and close combat training.

Charges against her include membership in a terrorist organization, preparation for high treason, and possession of a knuckle duster.

This trial is part of a larger series of ongoing legal proceedings against alleged members of the 'Kaiserreichsgruppe' across various German cities.

The OLG Celle has scheduled more than 20 trial days until early April 2025, anticipating a lengthy legal process.

In a related context, a 62-year-old man was recently sentenced to two and a half years in prison for storing weapons, highlighting the serious nature of these cases.

As this is the first trial related to the 'Kaiserreichsgruppe' in Lower Saxony, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
