Legal Discussion in the Case Against Michael Ballweg – Court to Announce Decision on March 17

Stuttgart, March 12, 2025 – A constructive legal discussion took place today between the court, the prosecution, and the defense in the case against Michael Ballweg. Out of respect for the court, the defense will not comment on the content of this discussion at this time.

The Stuttgart Regional Court will provide an update on the progress of the proceedings on March 17, 2025, during the 27th day of trial. This marks a decisive phase in the case.

We invite all members of the press to attend the hearing on March 17 to receive first-hand information and report on the latest developments.

Michael Ballweg, founder of the QUERDENKEN movement, is on trial. The QUERDENKEN movement emerged as a civil rights initiative opposing restrictions on freedoms during the COVID-19 period. Many of its supporters continue to face criminalization and legal prosecution. The protection of civil liberties remains a fundamental concern for Michael Ballweg in a society that defines itself as a liberal democracy. Today, he is particularly focused on digital identity and digital freedoms.

"I have always adhered to the law," says Ballweg. "That is why my defense team and I are committed to achieving my full rehabilitation for the injustice I have suffered."

Further details will be announced following the court's statement.
