- Jan-Carl Raspe grew up as the son of a factory owner in East Berlin. The father died the year he was born. From 1961 he lived with relatives in West Berlin. In 1963 he graduated from school with a high school diploma. He then studied chemistry and later sociology at the Free University. He completed his studies with a diploma. In 1971 Raspe joined the Red Army Faction. In 1972, Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin returned to Germany from their exile and, as the "Red Army Faction", assumed responsibility for terrorist attacks in May, which they carried out in Augsburg, Hamburg, Karlsruhe and at the US Army headquarters in Heidelberg.
Raspe, who had taken part in the preparations and implementation, was arrested on June 1, 1972 together with Andreas Baader and Holger Meins in Frankfurt am Main and sentenced to life imprisonment on April 28, 1977, after almost two years of trial and 192 days of trial . The trial took place in a purpose-built armored building that was specially built for twelve million DM, right next to the grounds of the Stuttgart-Stammheim prison. Raspe was then imprisoned in Cologne-Ossendorf and later in Stuttgart-Stammheim.
On September 5, 1977, the RAF responded to the verdict by kidnapping Hanns-Martin Schleyer, President of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations. The RAF now demanded that the Federal Republic release Baader and eleven other members who were in custody. The demand was that each of them should receive 100,000 DM and be flown out of Germany. Chancellor Helmut Schmidt refused to give in to the demand and made it clear: "The Federal Republic of Germany cannot be blackmailed." On October 13, 1977, four Arab terrorists hijacked the Lufthansa plane "Landshut" on the flight from Mallorca to Frankfurt with a new destination of Mogadishu. There were 82 passengers and 5 crew members on board the "Landshut".
The Arab kidnappers thus joined the RAF and demanded the release of the RAF members imprisoned in Germany. On October 18, 1977, a special unit of the Federal Border Guard succeeded in a spectacular operation to free the hostages on the tarmac of Mogadishu Airport (Somalia). Just a few hours later, Jan-Carl Raspe, Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin committed suicide after years of solitary confinement in the Stuttgart-Stammheim prison. All police efforts to find and free Hanns-Martin Schleyer were unsuccessful. On October 19, 1977, Hanns-Martin Schleyer was found dead in the trunk of a car.
Jan-Carl Raspe was buried together with his two fellow prisoners Baader and Ensslin in the Dornhaldenfriedhof in Stuttgart. - Wolfgang Krebs was born on 31 August 1966 in Seefeld, Starnberg, Bavaria, Germany.
