Ralf Reinders
Ralf Reinders (born August 27, 1948 in Berlin-Reinickendorf ), nickname Bär , is a former terrorist of the June 2nd movement .
Life
Ralf Reinders was born in Berlin in 1948 as the son of a Dutchman and a German. His father was deported to Germany as a slave laborer during the Second World War . His mother lost her German citizenship due to her marriage . He dropped out of high school after 8th grade and did an apprenticeship as a Rotaprint printer.
In 1965 he was involved in the Waldbühne battle. Reinders took part in student actions and demonstrations against the Vietnam War . With the shooting of Benno Ohnesorg on June 2, 1967, the actual politicization began: "After all the beatings and beatings, we had the feeling that the cops shot us all."
The Central Council of wandering hash rebels was founded in July 1969 and there were street battles because of hashish - raids organized in trendy bars. Reinders was jailed for six weeks. In November 1970 Reinders went into hiding after a manhunt against him.
There were initial contacts with the Baader-Meinhof Group , which was preparing the liberation of Baader at the time . After several attacks, bank robberies and other actions, the terrorist organization "Movement June 2nd" was formed in January 1972 from twelve people from three different groups.
After the kidnapping of Peter Lorenz , the "Negerkuss bank robberies" and the murder of the President of the Supreme Court Günter von Drenkmann , Reinders was arrested on September 9, 1975 together with Inge Viett and Juliane Plambeck after almost five years in the underground.
On April 10, 1978, the "Lorenz Drenkmann Trial" against Ronald Fritzsch , Gerald Klöpper , Till Meyer , Fritz Teufel , Andreas Vogel and Ralf Reinders began in Berlin before the Superior Court . Reinders received 15 years in prison, of which he served twelve. He was released from prison Berlin-Moabit on September 14, 1990 . Since he is a Dutch citizen , after his release from prison he was threatened with deportation from the Federal Republic.
Reinders registered the “revolutionary May 1st demonstration” in Berlin in 2008 after mocking victims of the RAF at the 2007 demonstration. According to the organizers, Reinders had been asked to register the demonstration in order to “stand in solidarity behind his biography”. To the applause from the Antifa division, he justified the RAF murders of Federal Prosecutor General Buback and employer president Schleyer. Frank Henkel , at the time an interior expert for the Berlin CDU parliamentary group, then called for the links between the left-wing extremist scene and former terrorists to be carefully monitored.
