Not to be confused with Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss of Plauen.Heinrich Reuss zu Köstritz (b. 4 December 1951), styled as Prince Heinrich XIII, is a German aristocrat who was arrested by German federal police in 2022 due to his alleged involvement in the 2022 Germany coup d'état plot.
Biography
He is the son of Prince Heinrich I Reuss of Köstritz and Duchess Woizlawa Feodora of Mecklenburg, the only child of the German colonial politician Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg.
The Imperial County of Reuss, from which Reuss claims descent, dates to the 12th century and historically administered the regions of Gera and Greiz. The House of Reuss is presently headed by Heinrich XIV, who resides in Austria and has previously said Heinrich Reuss is "a confused man peddling conspiracy theories".
Reuss worked as a real estate developer, operating a company name Buero Prinz Reuss in Frankfurt. Reuss has spoken in favor of lower tax regimes, hailing the 10 percent rate in the former Principality of Reuss let its citizens lead "happy lives" because it was "straightforward and transparent". Reuss contended that the modern German government and European Union were more distant and inaccessible than princes. Reuss also gave speeches containing anti-Semitic conspiracies and that Germany had been a vassal state since the Second World War.
At a digital business summit in 2019, Reuss gave a 16-minute speech containing far-right conspiracy theories. In 2020, Reuss participated in the "Celebrating the First International Day of Conscience" event in Vienna.
On 7 December 2022, Reuss was arrested at his Frankfurt home during a wide-ranging set of German police raids against alleged far-right conspirators in a planned "Reichsbürger" coup d'état. According to police, the coup's conspirators hoped to install the 71-year-old Reuss as head of state.
