life and death
The trained chemographer came from Munich-Giesing . Together with his accomplice Dimitri Todorov, he was the first bank robber in post-war German history to jointly take hostages when the crime was committed . Rammelmayr was shot by the police while trying to rescue one of the hostages .
Course of the bank robbery
On August 4, 1971, at 3:55 p.m., the two accomplices attacked a branch of Deutsche Bank in Prinzregentenstrasse in Munich . To back up their demand for two million German marks and a getaway car, they took the 18 people present in the bank hostage .
After negotiations with the police, the requested sum and an escape vehicle were made available around 11 p.m. Chief Public Prosecutor Erich Sechser took over the management of the police , who decided that the perpetrators should be "eliminated as quickly as possible". First, a female hostage left the bank with a bank clerk and was put in the getaway vehicle, then the bank clerk - the cashier - returned to the bank. Shortly afterwards, Rammelmayr left the bank and joined the hostage in the vehicle provided. The snipers and MP-armed police officers then shot several times into the vehicle, even though the hostage was right next to the robber. Rammelmayr was fatally injured, the immediate rescue of the hostage from the car by Munich Mayor Hans Steinkohl could not save her life; she died after being shot five times in hospital despite emergency surgery.
At this point, Todorov was still in the bank with the rest of the hostages. During the storming of the building, there was a shooting between Todorov and police officers, with no injuries. Todorov was to life imprisonment convicted predatory hostage-taking and five counts of attempted murder. He was imprisoned for 22 years.
