Masked Darth Vader ensures police operation in Lindau!
Masked Darth Vader ensures police operation in Lindau!
Lindau am Bodensee, Deutschland - A bizarre police operation occurred on Sunday evening, May 18, 2025, in Lindau on Lake Constance. The reason for the assignment was numerous reports about a masked man who went around in black latex clothing and a darth vader mask. The police were initially informed about a unknown person who was seen nearby, and received another call a little later in which one person in a garbage bag was mentioned. When the officers arrived at the scene, they found the 60-year-old man who was in this strange cladding, but he refused to specify his personal details.
Investigations showed that the man has connections to the Reich Citizens' scene, an extremist movement that opposes the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany. This led to an advertisement due to the refusal of his personnel information. After the incident, the man pulled the costume off and went home. The reason for his strange outfit remains unclear what the situation is even absurd.
The imperial citizen scene in focus
The Reich Citizens' Movement is not only a marginal appearance, but has developed into a serious threat. According to ISD since November 2021 has actively planned a coup to overthrow the constitutional order of the Federal Republic of Germany. In December 2022, more than 130 apartments were searched in Germany, with 25 people being arrested who were involved in the coup plans. These investigations are one of the most comprehensive anti-terrorist missions in German history.
The Reichsbürger see the Federal Republic of Germany as a non-sovereign state and believe that they can return to a “state” based on the model of the German Reich in 1871 through illegal means. Many members of the movement are current or former soldiers, some of whom have access to firearms. The political ambitions of the group are dangerous and range from the demand for a new state structure to calls for violence against the state.
The presence of right -wing extremists in the police and military also raises additional questions. A violent incident in the past, in which a supporter of the Reich Citizens' Movement shot a police officer in 2016, underlined the threat of this ideology. The protection of the constitution has the activities of the movement exactly at a glance, in particular their overlaps with other extremist groups such as the lateral thinker movement that appeared during the Covid 19 pandemic.
The incident in Lindau shows how absurd and at the same time dangerous the events that result from the Reich Citizens' scene can be. While the man in his Darth Vader cladding looks amusing at first glance, he still symbolically stands for a serious social challenge that may not be ignored.
