The Baader-Meinhof Gang on Trial

Stammheim

Also known as Stammheim: Die Baader-Meinhof-Gruppe vor Gericht, Stammheim: Baader-Meinhof-gruppen inför rätta

Based on the research for his non-fiction book "Der Baader-Meinhoff-Komplex", "Spiegel" journalist Stefan Aust wrote the screen play to Reinhard Hauff’s controversial feature film that re-narrates the startling trial against the RAF terrorists Baader, Meinhoff, Ensslin, and Raspe. The trial that started in May 1975 in the Stammheim maximum-security prison extended over 192 days and ended with a lifetime sentence for all defendants.
