Compact ban procedure: On June 10, the Federal Administrative Court will decide!

Leipzig, Deutschland - On June 10, 2025, the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig will make a far-reaching decision in the compact ban procedure. As Compact-online.de , the lawyers Laurens Nothdurft and Ulrich Vosgerau submitted their last briefings. On the other hand, there are legal representatives of the federal government that cannot rule out a defeat of the Compact magazine.

In a negative judgment, this could result in serious consequences. The sale of all compact products, including the popular silver medals, would be prohibited. In the worst case, the state could even confiscate and melt the medals already produced. Therefore, the operators recommend ordering the medals by June 5 to get them before the process.

Various silver medals are currently available in the online shop:

• Höcke-Taler: Popular and available again.
• hero medal Donald Trump: with a new motive and value increase potential through Trump's presidency.
• Druschba medal: A symbol of friendship between Germans and Russians, exclusively at Compact.

All medals are made of real silver with a fineness of 999/1000.

The ban was issued by an order from the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Homeland (BMI), which found that the company of the Compact magazine was directed against the constitutional order. In the lawsuit, the increase in the number of contestation that was raised on July 24, 2024 is also discussed. Among the applicants is also a film production company that is responsible for the contents of Compact.

legal framework and next steps
