Have you heard about this satirical version of a conspiracy theory?

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.

Bielefeld Conspiracy - Wikipedia

This "conspiracy theory" is quite famous in Germany

The theory poses three questions:

Do you know anybody from Bielefeld?
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.

In German: "Bielefeld-Verschwoerung.
 
Bielefeld is like the mother of most conspiracy theories.
Or the recipe for any decent conspiracy theory.

...................................


Bielefeld is a city in north-western Germany, with a population of about 323,000. It’s in the state of North-Rhine-Westphalia, and is the 18th largest city in Germany, with a large university and hospital, a historic castle, and a fairly typically Germanic-looking church.

Or at least that’s what they want you to think. The evil, conniving, manipulating, Machiavellian elites of the Illuminati.

Because the truth – the shocking truth, the red-pill MSM-defying truth – is that Bielefeld doesn’t exist.
