Burial of RAF Members Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe (October 27, 1977)

After the "second generation" of the Red Army Faction (RAF) failed to force the release of the imprisoned founders of the terrorist group through violence and extortion (e.g. the kidnapping of Hanns-Martin Schleyer and the hijacking of the Lufthansa plane “Landshut”), the original RAF leadership (Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan-Carl Raspe) committed suicide in Stuttgart's Stammheim Prison. The three were buried in a common grave in the city's Dornhalden cemetery. Photo by Abisag Tüllmann (October 27, 1977).
