Prior to and following her parliamentary tenure, she worked as a judge at the Berlin Regional Court, having been appointed in 1993 and handling civil cases. In December 2022, Malsack-Winkemann was arrested as part of a nationwide operation targeting the Reichsbürger scene, a loose network rejecting the legitimacy of the modern German state. Prosecutors accuse her of playing a key role in the "Patriotic Union" subgroup, allegedly providing insider knowledge of parliamentary layouts and planning to facilitate an armed storming of the Bundestag to install a new government under Heinrich XIII. Prince Reuß, facing charges including membership in a terrorist organization and preparation of high treason. Her trial, which commenced in May 2024 in Frankfurt, continues as of 2024, with Malsack-Winkemann denying involvement in any violent plot and contesting the prosecution's narrative.

She stepped down from the bench in 2017 to pursue other endeavors.

Entry into Politics

Birgit Malsack-Winkemann transitioned from her judicial career to politics by joining the (AfD) in April 2013, soon after the party's establishment as a eurosceptic alternative to mainstream parties. This move reflected growing dissatisfaction among some legal professionals with the perceived erosion of national sovereignty through policies, particularly the handling of the Eurozone crisis and supranational legal overrides of German constitutional principles. Within the AfD, she assumed initial roles at the local level, serving as deputy chair of the party's district association in Berlin-Steglitz-Zehlendorf from 2015 to 2017. Her early involvement emphasized advocacy for rule-of-law reforms, critiquing inconsistencies in judicial application amid migration policies and federal overreach, which positioned her for higher candidacy. No prior electoral victories at state or municipal levels are recorded, marking her national run in 2017 as her debut in competitive politics.

Political Activities in the AfD

Election to Bundestag

Birgit Malsack-Winkemann was elected to the 19th German on September 24, 2017, as the fourth-placed candidate on the (AfD) state list for . The AfD received 13.1 percent of second votes statewide in , entitling the party to four proportional seats, which allowed Malsack-Winkemann's entry alongside Gottfried Curio, Götz Frömming, and . Although AfD candidates, including Malsack-Winkemann, contested direct mandates in 's constituencies, the party secured no first-past-the-post victories there, with seats allocated via the list system to balance proportionality. Her term began with the Bundestag's constitutive session on October 24, 2017, and she represented as a non-attached AfD member until the end of the legislative period. Assigned to the (Haushaltsausschuss) as an ordinary member and AfD spokesperson (Obfrau), Malsack-Winkemann also served as deputy chair of the Subcommittee on Matters and as a substitute in the Committee. These roles involved reviewing fiscal allocations and EU-related expenditures, with her participation documented in committee protocols; she aligned with AfD positions in recorded votes on budgetary items touching national fiscal sovereignty, such as opposition to expanded EU transfers. Malsack-Winkemann sought re-election in the September 26, 2021, federal election as an AfD candidate in but did not secure a , as the party's second-vote share dropped to 9.4 percent statewide, yielding only two proportional seats. This outcome reflected AfD's national decline amid internal factional strains between its more nationalist elements and attempts at moderation, alongside heightened public and institutional scrutiny of the party's platforms. Her term concluded on October 26, 2021, with the convening of the 20th .

Parliamentary Roles and Stances


During her tenure in the 19th German Bundestag from 2017 to 2021, Birgit Malsack-Winkemann served as deputy chairperson of the Subcommittee on European Union Affairs under the Committee on European Union Affairs. In this role, she contributed to deliberations on EU-related legal and consumer protection matters, reflecting her background as a jurist. She also participated in the Budget Committee, where AfD members, including Malsack-Winkemann, scrutinized government spending proposals. Malsack-Winkemann delivered several plenary speeches, including her maiden address on December 12, 2017, and interventions on May 14 and May 18, 2018, often representing the AfD . These addresses critiqued perceived overreach in judicial and administrative processes, advocating for adherence to the literal text of the over expansive interpretations influenced by political agendas. Her positions aligned with AfD emphases on curbing through stricter enforcement of asylum laws and of ineligible claimants, as evidenced by her co-sponsorship of a September 21, 2018, motion addressing protections for genuine war refugees under the Geneva Convention while calling for tighter controls on tolerated stays and economic migrants. On fiscal matters, Malsack-Winkemann supported AfD initiatives for reduced public spending and opposition to expansive welfare expansions, consistent with the party's conservative economic platform during budget debates. Regarding parliamentary operations, she employed a fortune-teller on a part-time basis as a clerical assistant, disbursing approximately €11,800 in taxpayer funds for this role from onward, which drew scrutiny for deviating from conventional staffing norms and highlighting her office's in personnel choices. No major public conflicts with AfD leadership were recorded in her official activities, though her moderate self-description within the party underscored alignment with core platforms on state authority limits.

Ideological Positions

Views on German Sovereignty

Malsack-Winkemann has articulated concerns that the does not possess full , attributing this to unresolved historical contingencies following , including the absence of a formal and lingering Allied influences. In her 2024 trial testimony, she emphasized that her objectives aligned with efforts to restore through adherence to legal principles rather than revolutionary means, stating that unlawful actions could not achieve genuine sovereign status. This perspective draws on first-principles interpretations of , positing that true state independence requires explicit termination of occupation-era reservations rather than implicit assumptions in agreements like the 1990 Two-plus-Four Treaty, which formalized reunification but preserved certain extraterritorial rights for Allies in until that date. She has referenced the (Grundgesetz) as originally conceived in a provisional context amid partial , intended as a temporary framework pending full national reunification and treaty resolution, rather than a permanent ratified by popular assembly. This view contrasts with mainstream legal consensus but aligns with textual analysis of the 's and Article 146, which envisions potential replacement by a adopted by a free German people. Empirical support for her skepticism includes persistent U.S. military presence and commitments, which she and AfD colleagues argued constrain autonomous foreign policy, as evidenced in parliamentary debates on migration where was described as ceded to mechanisms. Criticizing EU supranational structures, Malsack-Winkemann has highlighted their erosion of national , particularly through preliminary rulings by the that override domestic courts on matters like and economic policy. As a former at the Regional Court, she cited instances of state overreach in administrative enforcement, such as disproportionate regulatory burdens on citizens during her tenure handling civil and family cases, where federal and directives allegedly prioritized supranational compliance over individual . These examples underscore her broader contention that external integrations undermine causal chains of national accountability, favoring empirical restoration of unilateral competence in core state functions.

Engagement with Reichsbürger Concepts

Malsack-Winkemann aligned certain Reichsbürger arguments with her critiques of German , positing that state actions, including enforcement of tax obligations and validation of citizenship documents, could be deemed invalid due to unresolved deficits from the post-World War II order and the Two Plus Four Treaty of 1990. This perspective framed the Federal Republic's legal framework as carrying latent defects, extending intellectual critiques of into practical challenges against bureaucratic overreach. Her engagement emphasized a legalistic , drawing on her judicial experience to advocate non-violent scrutiny via existing courts rather than systemic disavowal, distinguishing her from movement fringes that rejected all state interactions. Pre-2022 interactions with aligned networks involved discussions applying these concepts to specific cases, such as contesting administrative legitimacy without endorsing extralegal disruption. This approach positioned Reichsbürger ideas as reformist extensions of constitutional debate, prioritizing evidentiary legal arguments over ideological absolutism.

Alleged Involvement in Coup Planning

The Reuss Group and Plot Outline

The circle surrounding Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, a minor aristocrat and descendant of the former sovereign House of Reuss, coalesced around 2020 amid heightened discontent with COVID-19 restrictions and conspiracy theories prevalent in Reichsbürger networks. This informal group, later dubbed the "Patriotic Union" by investigators, integrated aristocratic figureheads like Reuss with civilian dissidents, including alternative health practitioners and QAnon adherents, alongside a "military wing" comprising former elite soldiers such as retired paratrooper Rüdiger von Pescatore. Federal prosecutors described the structure as having distinct operational arms: a civilian element focused on ideological recruitment and a paramilitary component for enforcement, though the group's total active membership remained small, numbering in the dozens rather than hundreds. Prosecutors allege the group's core objective was to dismantle the Federal Republic of Germany—viewed by adherents as an illegitimate post-World War II construct—and install Reuss as interim regent, paving the way for a restoration of monarchical or imperial governance akin to pre-Weimar structures. Initial communications among members, intercepted by intelligence, emphasized a "non-violent transition" triggered by societal collapse or a "Day X" crisis, such as economic turmoil or the death of figures like Queen Elizabeth II, which they interpreted as omens. However, evidentiary critiques from defense arguments highlight the absence of a fixed operational timeline or coordinated logistics, portraying discussions as speculative fantasy rather than feasible strategy, with no evidence of broad recruitment beyond fringe circles. Supporting preparations included documented weapon acquisitions and paramilitary training, corroborated by raids yielding 97 firearms, over 25,000 rounds of ammunition, tactical gear, and explosives precursors across multiple sites. Members conducted on and simulated assaults, per chat logs and witness statements, though critics note these actions lacked synchronization or scale to execute a nationwide coup, resembling disorganized survivalist exercises more than . This subset operated within the broader Reichsbürger milieu, a decentralized rejecting state legitimacy attended by approximately 21,000 individuals in , but authorities emphasize that only a marginal fraction, like Reuss's network, pursued violent means, distinguishing it from passive denialism.

Accused Role and Preparations

Prosecutors have accused Birgit Malsack-Winkemann of being slated to assume the role of Minister of Justice in a purported post-coup regime under Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, where she would oversee the dismantling and replacement of Germany's current judicial institutions with structures aligned to Reichsbürger interpretations of historical legal continuity. This designation leveraged her background as a judge and former AfD parliamentarian, positioning her to legitimize the transition by emphasizing purported unbroken legal traditions from the pre-1945 German Reich, rather than a complete rupture with existing law. Allegations include her active contacts with Reuss group members, such as through encrypted communications and in-person discussions on restructuring the to purge perceived illegitimate elements and install compliant personnel. These interactions reportedly occurred in meetings spanning 2021 and 2022, where post-seizure governance models were outlined, including her input on maintaining "legal continuity" to avoid while subordinating courts to the new authority. Further preparations attributed to her involve facilitating reconnaissance of the in November 2022, allegedly by granting unauthorized access to co-conspirators via her residual parliamentary privileges to assess security for a planned storming operation. Malsack-Winkemann has rejected these claims, asserting that her engagements were confined to theoretical debates on constitutional without endorsement of violence or institutional overthrow, and that any site visits were innocuous.

Arrest and Immediate Aftermath

December 2022 Operations

On December 7, 2022, German federal prosecutors and police forces executed coordinated raids in multiple states, arresting 25 individuals—22 alleged members and three supporters—of a suspected terrorist group preparing acts of violence against the constitutional order. The operations targeted locations associated with the group, including residences and other sites, as part of a preemptive effort to disrupt planned violent actions. Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, a former parliamentarian and judge at the Regional Court, was among those detained during the raids. The raid on Malsack-Winkemann's residence involved specialized units entering the property to secure her and conduct searches, yielding materials later referenced in custody proceedings. Following her apprehension, she was immediately placed in investigative detention, with authorities citing an ongoing threat level to justify heightened security protocols, including separation from other detainees. The nationwide actions mobilized several thousand officers from federal and state levels, underscoring the perceived scale of the threat and the coordinated response by agencies under the Federal Public Prosecutor General's Office. In public statements that day, prosecutors described the arrests as having thwarted an imminent violent upheaval aimed at the government, emphasizing the group's operational preparations.

Initial Charges and Detention

Birgit Malsack-Winkemann was arrested on December 7, 2022, as part of nationwide operations targeting the alleged "Reichsbürger" plot, with initial suspicions centered on her membership in a pursuant to § 129a of the German Criminal Code (StGB) and preparation of a high treasonous enterprise under § 83 StGB. Federal prosecutors attributed to her a key logistical role within the "Reuss Group" subgroup, including reconnaissance of and planning for post-coup administration, based on intercepted communications and seized materials indicating coordinated violent action to overthrow the constitutional order. These charges stemmed from evidence of her active participation in group meetings since at least 2020, where coup scenarios were discussed, though her defense later contested the interpretation of her involvement as mere ideological sympathy rather than operational intent. Pre-trial detention (Untersuchungshaft) was ordered by a at the (Bundesgerichtshof) on December 9, 2022, confirming the arrests for 23 suspects including Malsack-Winkemann, primarily on grounds of flight risk—given the plot's contingency plans for evasion and her professional mobility as a former —and danger of , due to her documented contacts within political and judicial circles that could facilitate evidence manipulation. The detention rationale emphasized the group's hierarchical structure and encrypted communications, which prosecutors argued posed ongoing threats to the investigation's integrity absent isolation measures. Early evidentiary disputes arose over the proportionality of , with Malsack-Winkemann's legal team challenging the reliance on testimonies and chat logs as insufficiently corroborated for indefinite restrictions. Initial hearings in late 2022 and early 2023, held before the Haftprüfungsgericht, focused on detention reviews every few months, granting access to but under monitored conditions to prevent potential leaks, in line with standard procedures for suspects. Family impacts included limited visitation rights, contributing to personal hardships such as separation from her husband and restricted public communication, while broader access restrictions shielded the case from external influence amid heightened media scrutiny. These procedural steps bridged immediate post-arrest custody to formal proceedings, without resolving underlying debates over the charges' evidentiary threshold.

Trial Commencement in 2024

The trial against nine defendants, including Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, for membership in a domestic terrorist organization and preparation of a high treasonous enterprise opened on May 21, 2024, before the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt. The proceedings targeted the core group within the "Reichsbürger" network, accused of plotting to violently overthrow the federal government, storm the Bundestag, and install Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss as interim head of state. Federal prosecutors outlined the , asserting that the defendants had advanced concrete operational plans despite their limited numbers, including of and acquisition of weapons. Regarding Malsack-Winkemann, a former judge and AfD parliamentarian, the charges specified her intended role as justice minister in the post-coup administration, leveraging her legal expertise to dismantle existing institutions and establish a parallel aligned with the group's citizen ideology. To address security risks, the court convened in a purpose-built, 1,300-square-meter lightweight metal hall on Frankfurt's periphery, equipped with reinforced barriers and restricted entry; only a small number of spectators were permitted, with thorough screenings mandatory. Media coverage faced limitations, including bans on and reliance on pooled reporting to manage the high-profile . In initial sessions, prosecutors presented evidence from intercepted communications and detailing group meetings where logistical roles, including Malsack-Winkemann's ministerial preparations, were assigned.

Key Proceedings and Developments as of 2025

The Frankfurt trial against the inner circle of the alleged Reichsbürger network, including Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, proceeded with scheduled hearings throughout 2025, examining voluminous chat logs, witness statements, and seized materials from the group's preparations. By May 2025, the proceedings had extended beyond one year, with the court delving into the interpersonal dynamics and shared objectives among defendants, such as preparations for post-coup governance structures, though no interim convictions were issued. Defense counsel for Malsack-Winkemann and co-defendants continued to contest the chain of custody and interpretive validity of derived from long-term , including encrypted communications predating the December 2022 raids, asserting that such monitoring may have exceeded legal warrants under German constitutional protections. Cross-examinations in mid-2025 focused on the context of meetings at Malsack-Winkemann's properties, where prosecutors alleged logistical planning occurred, but defendants maintained these were ideological discussions without intent for violence. No rulings on evidence suppression motions had been finalized by October 2025, contributing to delays. As of September 2025, the presiding judges indicated the trial's complexity—encompassing over 100 witness testimonies and forensic analyses—would likely prolong proceedings into 2026 or beyond, with one co-defendant's death further complicating scheduling. Expert input on the Reichsbürger ideology's legal boundaries was incorporated to assess whether defendants' claims constituted preparatory acts for high , yet unresolved disputes over reliability persisted without resolution. Malsack-Winkemann reiterated her denial of coup involvement during resumed sessions, framing her actions as legitimate political engagement rather than .

Controversies and Broader Implications

Criticisms from Authorities and Media

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) classifies the Reichsbürger and Selbstverwalter scene, with which Malsack-Winkemann is alleged to have associated, as a right-wing extremist capable of endangering democratic order, monitoring approximately 23,000 individuals in the network as of December 2022. In 2021, the BfV attributed about 1,011 extremist crimes to Reichsbürger members, underscoring authorities' view of the group's potential for violence. Mainstream media outlets have portrayed Malsack-Winkemann as emblematic of a far-right danger to German democracy, emphasizing the coup plot's alleged arsenal of over 500,000 rounds of , explosives, and firearms seized during related raids. Coverage in sources such as highlighted her role in spreading , including a tweet speculating on government-orchestrated attacks, as an example of how such ideologies infiltrate public discourse. Following her December 2022 arrest as a former (AfD) parliamentarian, political figures and media called for heightened scrutiny of the AfD's ties to extremist networks, citing her parliamentary service until 2021 as evidence of potential overlaps between the party and Reichsbürger elements. German lawmakers initiated inquiries into the plot, framing it as a broader challenge from far-right infiltration that necessitated stronger institutional safeguards. Her status as an active Berlin judge at the time of arrest prompted official concerns about extremists penetrating the , with prosecutors and media noting risks to from individuals holding such views while wielding state authority. Authorities expressed alarm that her alleged preparations— including scouting the Reichstag and planning arrests of officials—illustrated how judicial roles could facilitate subversive activities.

Defenses, Alternative Interpretations, and Supporter Views

Malsack-Winkemann's legal defense, articulated through her counsel during the trial commencing May 21, 2024, maintains that her involvement in group discussions centered on theoretical constitutional reforms rather than any operational blueprint for violence. Attorneys for co-defendants in the Reuss subgroup, including statements applicable to shared preparations, have explicitly denied intentions to employ force, positioning reconnaissance activities—such as site visits to the on November 22, 2021—as exploratory rather than preparatory for assault. This argument extends to rejecting the prosecution's narrative of a "" faction, asserting that acquired weapons and tactical planning remained speculative and unexecuted, with no of imminent action beyond ideological discourse. Alternative interpretations frame Malsack-Winkemann's actions within Reichsbürger precepts, which contest the Federal Republic of Germany's legitimacy as a successor to the , citing unresolved post-World War II legal discontinuities like the lack of a formal until 1990. Proponents argue these views constitute legitimate scholarly on state foundations, akin to historical constitutional critiques, rather than seditious plotting; discussions of alternative governance structures are portrayed as civic hypotheticals invoking Weimar-era ambiguities, not calls to subvert the constitutional order. Such perspectives emphasize causal doubts about state authority derived from empirical gaps in democratic continuity, rejecting violence as incompatible with principled resistance. Supporters, including residual AfD sympathizers and Reichsbürger adherents, depict the December 7, 2022, arrests as emblematic of state overreach against dissenters, correlating with broader crackdowns amid 2020-2022 protests where up to 1 million participated in anti-lockdown demonstrations questioning government mandates. Malsack-Winkemann's candidacy in the February 11, 2024, state election—conducted from —yielded a vote increase to 2.3% in her district, signaling localized backing framing her detention as politically motivated suppression of sovereignty critiques. These narratives underscore implications for free expression, positing that prosecuting ideological challenges to state legitimacy risks eroding on foundational legitimacy without proven violent thresholds, though mainstream outlets often dismiss such claims amid institutional biases favoring official interpretations.
