SZ Live Podcast: Am Abgrund

In the organizer's words:

She lived like a shadow for three decades, always on the run, always under the radar. Then, in February 2024, the handcuffs clicked: Daniela Klette - suspected ex-RAF terrorist - was arrested in Berlin. She is now on trial, charged with attempted murder and aggravated robbery. But the trial against Klette is far more than an ordinary criminal trial - it is a journey into the shadowy zones of German history.

What remains of the Red Army Faction, decades after the so-called German Autumn? Who helped Klette go into hiding for so long? And where are her alleged accomplices, Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub?

The last episode of the SZ podcast "Am Abgrund", in which our court reporter Annette Ramelsberger deals with famous criminal cases in German history, is recorded live as a bonus episode.

Court reporter Annette Ram elsberger is up close. She observes the trial against Klette at close quarters - and she brings a lot of experience with her. Whether NSU or Islamist terror: Ramelsberger has reported on the major trials of recent years. She has noticed this time and again: Women in extremist groups are often underestimated - as followers, as seduced, rarely as perpetrators.

She talksto Patrick Bauer, deputy head of the SZ's audio/video department, about the Daniela Klette case - about the last mysteries of the RAF, about victims who never received justice and about a picture of terror that is more complex than many would like to believe.

Another guest is Jörg Schleyer, the youngest son of former employer president Hanns Martin Schleyer. He was just 23 years old when his father was kidnapped and murdered by RAF terrorists in 1977. He demands: The murders of the RAF must not go unpunished.
