Have you heard about this satirical version of a conspiracy theory?
Bielefeld Conspiracy - Wikipedia
This "conspiracy theory" is quite famous in Germany
In German: "Bielefeld-Verschwoerung.
The Bielefeld conspiracy is a satire of conspiracy theories that originated in 1993 in the German Usenet, which claims that the city of Bielefeld, Germany, does not exist,[1] but is an illusion propagated by various forces. Originally an internet phenomenon, the conspiracy has since been mentioned in the city's marketing, and referenced by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The theory poses three questions:

Have you ever been to Bielefeld?
Do you know anybody who has ever been to Bielefeld?
A majority are expected to answer no to all three queries. Anybody claiming knowledge about Bielefeld is promptly disregarded as being in on the conspiracy or having been themselves deceived.
