Some 3,000 police officers have carried out raids across Germany to stop an alleged plot by a far-right terrorist group to overthrow the government.

Prosecutors say 25 suspects were detained during the raids in 11 of the country's 16 states early this morning.

71-year-old nicknamed Prince Heinrich XIII, was among those arrested, and it's thought the group planned to install him as Germany's new leader.

German reports allege they planned to storm the parliament building and seize power.
