Schleyer-Entführung
A reminder of Germany's turbulent historical chapter
Did you know?
The 'German Autumn' involved a series of terrorist attacks in Germany.
Guided Story
Imagine it's a sunny day in September 1977, and suddenly, the sound of screeching tires fills the air. Right here is where the kidnapping of Hanns Martin Schleyer took place, an event that shook the entire nation. Take a look around. You might feel the tension that once gripped this area. Behind you, the Clarenbach Church stands as a silent witness to those times. The RAF, a left-wing extremist group, carried out this attack, leading to the tragic loss of five lives. As you stand here, reflect on the victims and the lasting impact of that dark chapter. A stroll through the nearby Stadtwald might offer a moment of peace to ponder the importance of democracy and security.
