Halle Court Weighs Reversal of Fugitive Extremist’s Gender and Name Change

County officials argue the self-determination rules were abused for provocation in a non-public rectification case.

Overview

  • A spokesperson for the Amtsgericht Halle said no decision has been issued on correcting Marla-Svenja Liebich’s birth-register entry and no timeline can be given.
  • The Saalekreis filed in December 2025 for rectification under Section 48 of the Civil Status Act in coordination with the state administrative authority.
  • Prosecutors in Halle report that the search continues for Liebich, who failed to report to the Chemnitz women’s prison on August 29, 2025 to begin a 18-month sentence.
  • Media reports say Liebich sought to register the sex entry as "divers" and the name "Anne Frank", but the Merseburg registry requires an in-person appearance that she refuses due to an arrest warrant.
  • Liebich was convicted in July 2023 of incitement, defamation and insult, and is described by Saxony-Anhalt’s domestic intelligence service as holding a homophobic, right-wing extremist worldview.
