They demand the expropriation of the princess: the DGB youth Oberpfalz protested in front of the gates of the castle of the Thurn and Taxis family.
Regensburg – Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis always makes the headlines.
On the one hand because of her numerous events at the family castle in Regensburg, on the other hand because of her critical statements.
In summer, celebrities come to their castle festivals, in winter visitors from all over the region come to the romantic Christmas market in the courtyard of St. Emmeram Castle.
For a few days there has been a dispute about the princess again.

Protest action against Gloria von Thurn und Taxis: DGB youth demands expropriation
Now the youth organization of the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB) Oberpfalz and the Verdi union have protested.
The DGB youth set up an information stand directly in front of St. Emmeram Castle, where the Thurn and Taxis Christmas market was taking place at the same time.
"Down with the would-be nobility": With these words, the union's offspring advertised the campaign on Facebook.
"The House of Thurn and Taxis shines again and again through scandals, arch-reactionary, right-wing ideas and numerous other no-gos," it continues.
"That's why we're setting up an information stand and clarifying things!" Visitors received free mulled wine or fruit punch.
