A man who has declared himself a king caused a stir when he drove his own armoured personnel vehicle across the Bundesplatz in Bern over the weekend.
29-year-old Jonas Lauwiner buys abandoned buildings, private roads and forests – and declares them part of his empire.
He even had a coronation.
He’s well known around his native Zug.
Despite his ambitions – he’s clearly not prepared to upset authorities. To drive his military vehicle on the road, he had to have it made road legal and pass a truck test.
He says locals smile and wave as he passes – and it makes him happy.
