Die Stammheim-Protokolle

The trial of Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof and Jan-Carl Raspe is one of the great criminal trials of the 20th century. The main trial took place from 1975 to 1977 at the Higher Regional Court in Stuttgart-Stammheim. Does the trial prove that the Federal Republic withstood the challenge of terrorism? Or can there be no question of a fair trial? To this day, opinions differ on this. Here, for the first time, a comprehensive selection of the unpublished court transcripts is presented. Numerous annotations explain the events of the trial and put them into context. The book thus provides a direct insight into a spectacular trial in which the rule of law was put to the test more than onceWhat is taking place here in these proceedings cannot be called anything other than the systematic destruction of all guarantees of the rule of law.Attorney Otto Schily, 185th day of trial.
