Nina Baader at her son's burial, Stuttgart, Germany

Mar. 27 Burial Of The Baader-Meinhof Prisoners: At the Dornhalden churchyard in Stuttgart (FRG) on October 27th, 1977 took place the burial of Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe, who committed suicide in the prison of Stuttgart-Stammheim on October 18th. After an unceremonious funeral service the three coffins were brought to the graves, escorted by the dependents of the dead and about 800 mainly young people, who were largely masked. There were words such as Gudrun, Andreas and Jan - in Stammheim tormented and murdered, in these coffins, which here are let down, the resistance will not be buried or the typical clenched fists as a political gesture. Gudrun Ensslin was buried in a single grave, while Andreas Baader and Jan-Carl Raspe were buried together. The funeral was watched by around 1000 policemen, who later controlled many of the burial attendees. It came to demonstrations and arrests.
