The article reports on an incident where a hunting lodge owned by Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, a prominent member of the German aristocracy and known far-right activist, was destroyed by fire caused by incendiary devices. Responsibility was claimed by a group called “Kommando Georg Elser,” aimed at sending a warning to von Thurn und Taxis, who is associated with far-right networks and has controversial views, including support for the neo-Nazi AfD party and advocating for traditional family values while opposing abortion and same-sex marriage.
The article highlights von Thurn und Taxis’s connections with various far-right figures, including Steve Bannon and Viktor Orban, and her belief in a coalition between traditional right-wing parties and fascist elements. The incident occurred amidst growing far-right sentiment in Germany, exemplified by the AfD’s increasing electoral success. The lodge, previously a golf course and restaurant, was valued at several million euros in damages. There is no confirmation yet from police regarding the authenticity of the claim by the group.
