New German-language monarchy subs

A couple of days ago a fellow German monarchist (u/Immediate-Type-7679) contacted me about discussion spaces for German monarchists. The fact is that ever since the single “largest” German monarchist organisation Tradition und Leben (TuL) dissolved nearly 4 years ago, there has been no singular rallying point for German monarchists. Most of us are isolated individuals who just so happen to hold monarchist positions.

Naturally, this is not conducive to positive political developments with respect to the German monarchies. While German monarchism has strong support in the main sub here (for which I’m very grateful!) and there are some subs like r/Kaiserposting that concern themselves with German monarchism, the fact remains that the vast majority of this engagement comes from outside the country, which is not, strictly speaking, helping us further here at home. There has been, until now, no major dedicated space for *German* monarchists to engage on the topic with each other.

I’ve admittedly toyed with the idea of starting a German-language monarchy sub myself, if only to see how much traction it could get. It was never likely to happen soon though, as I’m very busy finishing up my Master’s degree.

I passed of all this onto my compatriot… and lo and behold, they’ve gone and done it themselves! I’m very pleased to be able to share with you the newly-minted r/BDM_Nachrichten and r/BDM_Medien_Orga, two new German-language subreddits focused on news/developments and discussion respectively. BDM is short for “Bund deutscher Monarchisten,” the “Union of German Monarchists,” as they’ve elected to dub this space.

These are spaces for German monarchists who wish to seriously engage with the topic of German monarchism in the modern day with each other… who knows, if we can scrape together enough people, we might even be able to make more of it some day. Nothing is going to happen if we sit on our hands forever, after all.

Non-German speakers, don’t fret - there’s also a new r/GermanMonarchists sub to accommodate you as well.

Hope to see some of you around, and many thanks again to u/Immediate-Type-7679 to seizing the initiative here.
