Personal Life

He has spoken about ongoing harassment from online critics and “haters,” including people regularly traveling to his home, filming or provoking him, and creating a tense environment for himself and those around him. He sold his house in Altschauerberg to the local municipality and moved away in early 2022; his former house and property have since been demolished by the municipality.

Career

Due to repeated disruptions at his residence, protests, and people showing up to provoke him in real life, there were many police operations throughout the years. After years of conflict, he sold his home, moved, and has had to contend with both the financial and emotional toll of his public situation.

Controversy

A large part of the public profile of Drachenlord is controversy. He has been involved in numerous legal cases, including cases for assault, insults, defamation, and property damage. The phenomenon known as the “Drachengame” or “Hater-Community” has been central: a group of online critics who also physically visited or provoked him at his home in Altschauerberg, leading to repeated conflicts, police operations, and constant public attention.

His house was sold, demolished, and the community around him has followed him to new locations. The legal system has at times convicted him for actions taken in response to provocations (e.g., throwing stones, use of a flashlight to hit someone, etc.).
