Forbidden right-wing event in the castle of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd

This Saturday, the 16th September 2023, the small village of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd is full of police cars - the reason: an unapproved open "family event" that is supposed to take place this Saturday. The organizers are the "Königreich Deutschland" (kingdom of Germany), who are a sub group of "Reichsbürger" (people of the empire), and are living in the castle since around spring 2022. They apparently don't care about the German Constitution on their ground, they say, and their leader, Peter Fitzek, is well known to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. They want to establish a new kingdom with their own - or old - laws.

Despite the prohibition for the unapproved festival, this commune with well known fascist ties wants to use the "family event" to recruit young families with children into their ideology. Planned is a panel discussion, held by Nikolai Nerling - antisemite, right extremist, Holocaust denier, and convicted of Volksverhetzung (incitement to hatred.)

The people of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd are unsure about the event, a lot are not against it, yet the village is filled with posters against it. On the same day, the local government is having a counter-event, so the local people can get to talk with them.
