The court of Wittenberg in Saxony-Anhalt has sentenced the self-proclaimed king of Germany, Peter Fitzek, to a total of eight months in prison for intentional bodily harm and insult. The court considered it proven that the suspect, who was close to the Reichsbürger scene, had pushed a woman against a door in March last year during a verbal argument in an office building in the Wittenberg district and then kicked her, according to a spokesperson for That has the court of Dessau on Thursday.
He insulted two Bundeswehr soldiers who came to her aid and led the defendants out of the building like “fascist pigs”. Fitzek, whose lawyer had demanded an acquittal, left the courtroom during the oral verdict. The verdict is not yet legally binding.
Fitzek had proclaimed his own “kingdom” in 2012 and even had himself crowned. He has faced multiple court appearances and has also served time in prison for illegal insurance transactions, among other charges.
The so-called Kingdom of Germany is considered one of the largest associations in the Reichsburger scene and is expanding from Saxony-Anhalt to other federal states – mainly in the east. The goal of the fantasy state is to establish a state that is independent of the Federal Republic of Germany. Fitzek promises, among other things, a tax-free economic system and an interest-free monetary system and tried to set up his own “health fund”.
The Reichsburger group has been trying for some time to buy property in Saxony, including to establish “community villages”. The group around Fitzek is at the center of constitutional protection in several states.
