Integral to this concept is the variable and highly subjective distinction made by various parties between “good” and “evil,” “right” and “wrong,” “us” and “them.” This thesis examines these concepts as they relate to the actions and manifestos of the Red Army Faction (die Rote Armee Fraktion) in 1970s Germany, and seeks to understand how its members became regarded as terrorists.

It runs for 3 hours in 2 acts with a 15 minute interval. There is a cast of 30 (18M, 12F). The Baader-Meinhof Gang rose during West Germany's years of fashionable middle-class student anarchy (1968-77). Intellectuals supported their politics - the Palestinian cause, anti-US bases in Germany, anti-Vietnam War. Popularity dwindled as they moved to bank robbery, kidnap and extortion. The play covers their rise and fall. It's based on a tight matrix of facts: http://www.fringereport.com/0503blackhandsdeadsection.shtml (1 of 7)11/20/2006 9:31:37 AM FRINGE REPORT Demonstrating student Benno Ohnesorg is shot dead by police (Berlin 2 June, 1967). Andreas Baader and lover Gudrun Ensslin firebomb Frankfurt's Kaufhaus Schneider department store (1968). Ulrike Meinhof springs them from jail (1970). They form the Red Army Faction aka Baader-Meinhof Gang. Key members - Baader, Meinhof, Ensslin, Jan- Carl Raspe, Holger Meins - are jailed (1972). Meins dies by hunger strike (1974). The rest commit suicide: Meinhof (1976), Baader, Ensslin, Raspe (18 October 1977). The play's own history sounds awful. Drama school LAMDA commissioned it as a piece of new writing (two words guaranteed to chill the blood) - for 30 graduating actors.

    Terrorzelle Stammheim Die Gründer Der RAF Entfalteten Im Gefängnis Größere Wirkung Als in Freiheit

    Serie (V): Die zweite Generation Terrorzelle Stammheim Die Gründer der RAF entfalteten im Gefängnis größere Wirkung als in Freiheit. Gleichzeitig formierte sich im Untergrund, nach mehreren Rückschlägen, eine neue Truppe. Ihr Ziel war die Befreiung der inhaftierten Führung. Von Michael Sontheimer enn Marieluise Becker im Jahr 1973 ihren Mandanten Andreas W Baader im Gefängnis Schwalm- stadt besuchte, wurden zunächst ihre Ta- sche und ihre Unterlagen gründlich durch- sucht. Dann musste sie sich bis auf die Unterhose und den BH ausziehen. Schließ- lich schaute eine Wachtmeisterin der Hei- delberger Anwältin vorn und hinten in den Slip. „Nach einer derart erniedrigenden Behandlung“, sagt Becker, „kam einem das Wort vom ,faschistischen Staat‘ leicht über die Lippen.“ So wie die Anwältin sahen es damals manche Linksradikale, nicht lange nach- dem die Gründer der RAF im Sommer 1972 fast ohne Ausnahme verhaftet worden waren. „Das Problem Baader-Meinhof ist erledigt“, hatte Walter Scheel festgestellt. Der liberale Vizekanzler hielt die Terror- gruppe nur für einen kurzen Irrweg der bundesdeutschen Erfolgsgeschichte, für eine düstere Episode, die nun zum Glück abgehakt war. Es sollte anders kommen. Die harten Haftbedingungen der RAF-Mitglieder lie- ferten den Sympathisanten der Terror- gruppe einen willkommenen Anlass, die Nachfolge der RAF-Gründer anzutreten und den fanatischen Feldzug gegen den demokratischen Staat fortzusetzen. Die meisten RAF-Untersuchungshäftlin- ge wurden konsequent innerhalb der Ge- fängnisse isoliert. Sie durften nicht an Ge- meinschaftsveranstaltungen teilnehmen, durften ihre Zelle nur gefesselt verlassen und waren beim Hofgang allein. Kamen Verwandte oder Freunde zu Besuch, saßen BKA-Beamte dabei. Hinterher wurden ge- wöhnlich die Gefangenen und ihre Zellen durchsucht. Besonders weit ging die Anstaltsleitung in Köln-Ossendorf.

    Zur Geschichte der Roten Armee Fraktion (RAF) und ihrer Kontexte: Eine Chronik (Überarbeitete Chronik aus dem Jahr 2007) von Jan-Hendrik Schulz 08.03.1965 Die ersten amerikanischen Bodentruppen landen in Vietnam. Damit verbunden ist die bis 1968 dauernde „Operation Rolling Thunder“, in deren Verlauf die US- amerikanische Luftwaffe den von der „Front National de Libération“ (FNL) – später vereinfacht als „Vietcong“ bezeichnet – organisierten Ho-Chi-Minh-Pfad bombardiert. In der Folgezeit wird die Luftoffensive gegen die Demokratische Republik Vietnam weiter ausgeweitet. Kommentar: Der Vietnam-Konflikt bekam seit Mitte der 1960er-Jahre eine starke Relevanz in der internationalen Studentenbewegung. Besonders prägend für die bundesdeutsche Studentenbewegung war dabei die deutsche Übersetzung von Ernesto Che Guevaras Rede „Schafft zwei, drei, viele Vietnam“. Verantwortlich für die Übersetzung und Veröffentlichung im Jahr 1967 waren Rudi Dutschke und Gaston Salvatore. Ende Oktober 1966 In Frankfurt am Main tagt unter dem Motto „Notstand der Demokratie“ der Kongress gegen die Notstandsgesetze. Eine breite Bewegung von Sozialdemokraten, Gewerkschaftlern und Oppositionellen der Neuen Linken versucht daraufhin mit Sternmärschen, Demonstrationen und anderen Protestformen die geplanten Notstandsgesetze zu verhindern. 01.12.1966 Unter Bundeskanzler Kurt Georg Kiesinger konstituiert sich die Große Koalition. Vizekanzler und Außenminister wird der ehemalige Bürgermeister West-Berlins und Vorsitzende der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands, Willy Brandt. Dezember 1966 Rudi Dutschke ruft auf einer Versammlung des Sozialistischen Deutschen Studentenbundes als Protest gegen die Konstituierung der Großen Koalition zur Gründung einer Außerparlamentarischen Opposition (APO) auf. 19.02.1967 Die „Kommune I“ gründet sich in West-Berlin in der Stierstraße 3. Ihr gehören unter anderem Dieter Kunzelmann, Fritz Teufel, Rainer Langhans und Ulrich Enzensberger an.

    The Lasting Legacy of the Red Army Faction

    WEST GERMAN TERROR: THE LASTING LEGACY OF THE RED ARMY FACTION Christina L. Stefanik A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Dr. Kristie Foell, Advisor Dr. Christina Guenther Dr. Jeffrey Peake Dr. Stefan Fritsch ii ABSTRACT Dr. Kristie Foell, Advisor In the 1970s, West Germany experienced a wave of terrorism that was like nothing known there previously. Most of the terror emerged from a small group that called itself the Rote Armee Fraktion, Red Army Faction (RAF). Though many guerrilla groupings formed in West Germany in the 1970s, the RAF was the most influential and had the most staying-power. The group, which officially disbanded in 1998, after five years of inactivity, could claim thirty- four deaths and numerous injuries The death toll and the various kidnappings and robberies are only part of the RAF's story. The group always remained numerically small, but their presence was felt throughout the Federal Republic, as wanted posters and continual public discourse contributed to a strong, almost tangible presence. In this text, I explore the founding of the group in the greater West German context. The RAF members believed that they could dismantle the international systems of imperialism and capitalism, in order for a Marxist-Leninist revolution to take place. The group quickly moved from words to violence, and the young West German state was tested. The longevity of the group, in the minds of Germans, will be explored in this work.
