‘Warning to the Princess’: Antifa Claims Responsibility for Bavaria Arson
The European Conservative ^ | 10 Oct, 2025 | Zoltán Kottász

The historic Thurn und Taxis hunting lodge was burned down on Monday morning. Lappersdorf Volunteer Fire Department.

German police are investigating whether far-left extremists from Antifa were behind a massive fire that destroyed the historic Thurn und Taxis hunting lodge near Regensburg, Bavaria earlier this week.

The fire, which broke out in the early hours of Monday, reduced the 19th-century building to its outer walls and caused damage estimated at around €4 million.

Authorities confirmed that a statement claiming responsibility for the arson has been posted on the far-left online platform Indymedia.

The message, signed by an “Antifa Kommando,” described the fire as a “warning” to Gloria, Dowager Princess of Thurn und Taxis, accusing her of “reactionary” and “fascist” sympathies.

Police in Regensburg said the statement is being examined but stressed that they are “investigating in all directions.”

The lodge, located in the Fürstlicher Thiergarten near Donaustauf, was being used as a golf club and restaurant. Local mayor Jürgen Sommer lamented the “heartbreaking loss” for the community, while the restaurant’s operators wrote on social media: “Our shared place of enjoyment, passion, and encounter is destroyed. What remains is emptiness and pain.”

In its incendiary statement, Antifa justified the attack by citing the princess’s alleged connections to right-wing figures such as former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, and members of Germany’s AfD party.

The text accused Thurn und Taxis of representing “monarchy, contempt for humanity, and class privilege,” and threatened that “if you don’t stop your inhuman agitation, next time not only your golf club will burn.”

--- "...the Communists are pretty strong in Germany too i see."

We used to see their pasters up on lampposts every election season. A tiny party, because the 'socialist' vote is spread across a number of Leftist parties, still one hears ZERO concerns about them or Die Linke and others, all the while the media screams about AfD as "right-wing."

Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany English language page for this German political party.

This alone shows that the current political elite in Germany is essentially "internationalist," and the "threat" as they all see it is that everyday Germans are gravitating to that "Alternative for Deutschland," because it is -- ta-da -- an alternative. Scares the heck out of the entrenched power in German politics and media.

Good Find, Climber!

Antifa DOES exist, it is an International Terrorist Organization, they are Illegal Combatants and Pirates, and should be shot on sight, regardless of claimed citizenship or status.

Take Out The Trash!

The website copy more fully explains this attack in Germany.

Like I’ve been saying....Antifa began in Germany and then setup operations in Vancouver, BC, Seattle and Portland.
There next big operation is probably TX and CA.

“The hunting lodge is on fire!”

“Put it out!

“There is no water but we could spray beer on it to put the fire out!”

…………………………………….

“Let it burn.”

They show up in the dark and then scurry away. Antifa at its bravest.

"Antifa is the street muscle for the communist elitists."

They're actually the fascists now. There really wasn't much difference between the Sturmabteilung (S.A.) and Antifaschistische Aktion (Antifa) in 1930's Berlin. Both hated capitalism, both disliked authority, and both used violence to bring political change. The only difference was the S.A. was funded by the Nazi Party, and Antifaschistische Aktion was funded by Russia.
