In the case of the alleged right-wing extremist Bundeswehr soldier from the Hochtaunus district, the public prosecutor's office is also investigating the suspicion that he was preparing a serious act of violence that could endanger the state.

A spokeswoman for the prosecution in Frankfurt said on Wednesday.

She did not give details, the investigation was still in its infancy.

Among other things, a pamphlet would have to be evaluated as well as cell phones and data carriers.

"Hessenschau" had previously reported on it.

According to the report, the document found in the house should be headed with the words "How to take power in Germany".

Special forces of the Hessian police arrested the Bundeswehr soldier on the weekend after a notice and seized weapons, ammunition as well as explosives.

According to initial findings, this mainly involves material that does not come from the armed forces holdings.

The man is also said to have expressed himself in a right-wing extremist manner.

A relative of the man, a 63-year-old, was arrested, and a third suspect at the age of 20 turned himself in to the police.

It is said to be the father and brother of the 21-year-old.

The authorities are also investigating suspicions of sedition and violations of the Explosives, Arms and War Weapons Control Act.

The volunteer doing military service is deployed at a location in Pfullendorf in Baden-Württemberg.

The Special Operations Training Center is based there.

Connections of the Bundeswehr to right-wing extremists

In recent years there had been repeated investigations against soldiers and police officers, including members of special forces, for connections to right-wing extremists.

In May the proceedings against a Bundeswehr officer began in Frankfurt before the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court, accused, among other things, of preparing a serious criminal offense, violations of the Weapons Act, the War Weapons Control Act and the Explosives Act.

Most recently, the Special Forces Command (KSK) made headlines several times in connection with ammunition incidents.

For example, a weapon hiding place with ammunition and explosives was found in the garden of a commando soldier from Saxony.
