or a regional entity. Other groups do not operate under the label of a 'restored' or new German state but call themselves simply Selbstverwalter (literally, 'someone who governs himself'). They reject the Federal Republic and claim that their house is a sovereign entity. Antisemitism According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, some of the Reichsbürger groups and individuals hold antisemitic views. One example is the organization "Geeinte deutsche Völker und Stämme", which was prohibited in March 2020: it promotes the idea that Jews and Muslims have no human rights nor a right to property. A handbook of the Amadeu Antonio Stiftung holds that most views of the "Reichsideologie" have an antisemitic core. Usually the Reichsbürger use antisemitic codes, such as "those from the Eastern Coast" or "the Rothschilds". Antisemitic conspiracy theories are attractive for the people in the Reichsbürger movement because they provide a simple explanation of the world by dividing humanity into friends and foes. A group of enemies of the people is made responsible for wars and poverty. Membership , Germany's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), estimated that movement membership had grown by 80% over the previous two years, more than estimated earlier, with a total of 18,000 adherents, of whom 950 were categorized as right-wing extremists. This marked an increase from BfV's 2016 estimate of 10,000 adherents and 2017 estimate of 12,600 adherents. The increase in numbers may be attributable to more adherents becoming known to authorities, rather than an actual increase in the number of adherents. The heterogeneity of the movement and its division into many small groups that are often independent of one another makes it difficult to estimate the number of active . adherents are scattered around Germany, but concentrated in the southern and eastern parts of the country, in the states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bavaria. BfV has estimated that there are 3,500 adherents in Bavaria and around 2,500 in Baden-Württemberg. Adherents tend to be older, with most aged 40–60 years old and an average age of over 50. The majority are male and socially disadvantaged. The Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which monitors far-right activities in Germany, states that adherents are "often isolated" and "completely cut off from reality". German counterextremism official Heiko Homburg states that the movement is an amalgamation of right-wing extremists, esoterics, and "sovereign citizens", and that the
