"One story about Ulrike Marie Meinhoff in the form of a personality portrait." "Timon Kulmasis, the author, had met Ulrike Meinhoff as a kid" "He attempts today to describe what once was not understandable to him and to others as well." "He wants to make clear the lifeways and personal reasons, that led these pasifists to terrorism and eventually to their suicide." "This way comes out the picture of a woman of many personality layers who has been listed as the cliche of a communist state enemy as well as a martyr" "This film doesn't intend to write the story of the organizations or even analyse them but it narrates through Ulrike Marie Meinhoff" "a very important capital for the history of W.Germany a capital, which after the fall of the Wall raises even more debates" "BOMB TERROR IN GERMANY" "I DON'T BELONG TO THE BAADER-MEINHOF GANG" "BAADER-MEINHOF ONE MILLION MARKS REWARD" "THE RED ULRIKE ALLIES TO VIOLENCE" "The 1st German Channel presents the news 9th May 1976" "Good Evening." "The anarchist Ulrike Meinhof... committed suicide in Stammheim prison, Stuttgart." "According to the authorities, the prisoner, aged 41... hung herself from the gratings in her cell." "An autopsy was ordered the same day." "In 1970, the former journalist Meinhof... after freeing Andreas Baader, chose to become illegal." "Founding member of the terrorist organization Red Army Faction... turned to armed struggle." "She was arrested in Hannover, in June of 1972." "During the last year, she was on trial in Stammheim, Stuttgart." "Her gang is being accused of... armed robberies and murder attempts... having caused 5 deaths and more than 50 injuries" "This is one of the last pictures of Ulrike Meinhof." "ULRIKE MARIE MEINHOF "Letter to her daughter"" "In those years we lived together Bettina." "I can hardly remember your mother." "First of all, I remember the day that you and your sister returned to our family home... not even knowing where from." "We were told that your mother, friend of my father... went away to fight for a better world." "She had you to be kidnapped... in order to transport you to a Palestinian orphanage... so that she dedicates herself to armed struggle... which convulsed Germany, your life and ours too." "We were eight years old then." "It all started on 14 May 1970." "I came out of my room and walked down the stairs." "On the radio there was the news." "I can remember my father... his usually undisturbed face, was pale and he was muttering..." ""It can't be...she's gone mad"." "Your mother jumped from the window and ran away... after the violent liberation of Andreas Baader... leaving you forever." "Shortly afterwards, she co-founded the group RAF (Red Army Faction)." "I returned to ?" "?" "?" "?" "I met people who were close to her, loved her... and people that she shared her life with." "It helped me to understand how she was led to revolt and terrorism." "I tried to follow your mother's strange fate... where personal history meets history, and one illuminates the other." "Ulrike came to see me at the offices of the publishing company." "PUBLISHER" "She told me: "A comrade is in prison..." "Andreas Baader." "We want to write a book." "In fact we won't write it... but make us a contract for writing a book." "This will allow Baader to go to the library... and we'll free him from there"." "I said: "OK, if this is about liberation of prisoners... especially leftists, I agree."" "We composed the contract, Baader was given permission." "The day before it happened... from what Ulrike was saying..." "I realized that she had decided to go illegal... in order to organize a sort of armed struggle." "At that moment, I suggested leaving from there and going for a walk... because the offices were being watched." "We walked a long time around a fountain." "I tried to dissuade her, with no result unfortunately." "They wrongly said that she escaped from the window... because she was in panic or terrified." "Actually, she was determined to go with the others... and I didn't manage to dissuade her." "What was her motivation?" "What did she have in mind?" "She would say that nothing can change with words... because society is deaf." "She said that we had to fight in other ways." "THE CONCEPT OF THE URBAN GUERILLA BY ULRIKE MEINHOF" "The urban guerilla aims to destroy certain aspects of the state structure... to disable it... and to destroy the myth of state omnipotence and invulnerability." "Urban guerilla means... conducting the anti-imperialist struggle offensively." "Either you�re part of the problem or you're part of the solution." "There is nothing in between." "Could she have taken action through speech?" "Yes, of course she could have, in some other moment..." "But then, words were not effective..." "On the contrary, they were (effective) later." "This could explain the fact that... they turned to armed struggle?" "Armed struggle is inseparable from..." "Germany in the 1950s and 1960s." "Whatever be said, armed struggle is product of... this inadaptable society... that wants at any cost to forget its past." "Jurgen and Monika Seifert had been friends of Ulrike Meinhof... since 1958, when they studied at the university of Munster." "JURGEN SEIFERT LAW PROFESSOR" "Ulrike Meinhof was assertive:" "What Hitler did, must not be repeated." "What would we say to our children if this happened again?" "This was the main concern of Ulrike Meinhof." "Her protestantism, sense of duty, made her feel responsible to this debt." "Fighting against fascism, meant opening conversation... for the old nazis, who were always present." "The fact that a former nazi managed to become... chancellor consultant, barely shocked." "We printed "Argument", a leaflet-statement." ""THE NEW ARCH-ENEMY"" "Here's the beginning:" ""After anti-semitism, anticommunism."" "We wanted to say that the religion of the state... was anticommunism." "As we were opposed to this, we were being told:" ""Cross the wall."" "All these statements set an essential question:" ""Why do you slander us, instead of discussing with us?"" "If we follow Ulrike Meinhof's track... we'll see that for years she was being defamed." "Before she became politically active... they already had been observing her stepmother, Renate Riemeck." "Always defamations and prosecutions for political ideologies." "And God knows that all these have no connection with communism." "Ulrike Meinhof, basically an orphan..." "Did you ever go to her home?" "How was it?" "It was in the 1930s style ... with the table always placed under the lamp." "Furniture was light colored." "It was a small house." "It reminded me of a protestantic rectory." "Many leftist activists of a certain age... were settled like this." "Was she highly affected by Renate Riemeck?" "Yes, I think so." "Ulrike's political attitude... her strange conception of geopolitics... derived from her." "How was Ulrike at her 24-25's, in private life?" "She was serious." "As young women, we were rather serious, her and me too." "She was sweet." "She was a woman influenced by german protestantism." "We were close... but it was actually politics that bound us." "In 1958, they wanted to install missiles in Germany." "We found the "Committee of Students for a Nuclear-weapon-free Germany"." "It would have never been without Ulrike." "In this square, on 20 May 1958..." "Ulrike Meinhof made her first speech in front of 1000 people... taking advantage of a demonstration in Munster." "It was an important fact, at a time when restoration... of conservatism in West Germany was taking place." "That day, I heard for the first time being told for her:" ""She's a Rosa Luxemburg."" "From 1959 to 1967 Ulrike Meinhof lived in Hamburg... with her husband Klaus Rohl." "When you first met Ulrike, did you fall in love with her?" "No, I didn't." "I didn't like her type... reminding the activist Sophie Scholl... her haircut for example." "And I wasn't her type too, she found me horrible." "How did you look like then?" "For her, I was the kind of person that didn't inspire confidence... the kind of person that someone would hesitate... to sell or buy a car from." "I was the publisher of a newspaper... that collaborated with communists." "Actually, I did whatever I wanted." "The communists needed a small, peaceful publication... aiming to attract students." "My comrades and I, explained to Ulrike... that antinuclear protest would have no result... unless we took into account more essential factors." "A few months later... we introduced her to the secrets of illegal communism... since the communist party was illegal at that time." "Ulrike agreed immediately to conspire with us... so that she could affect the others... those brave pacifists... who had restricted their protest just to pacifism." "She did this, so that she could conscientiously manipulate them... according to the directives of the Party." "It was then, that the editors appreciated her... and the Party agreed that Ulrike should come to Hamburg." "So, 6 months later, or rather...9 months later... in 1959, she was sent to Hamburg." "She became editor." "At that time we were seeing each other every day... more intensively, more often, but still as comrades." "I love you." "Your Ulrike." "We got married in 1961." "Ulrike had some doubts about me." "She was rather right." "She told me: "Ok we'll marry but just for 10 years."" ""I only ask you 10 years of loyalty." "I demand it!"" "I accepted, so we got married." "In this photo, we can detect... the small doubts in Ulrike's expression." "She seems like saying:" ""Well, my little wolf... you must be good for 10 years."" "We were born in Germany of the Wall... the Wall that East Berlin regime erected in May of 1961... which your mother was crossing often at that time... and ten years later she (?" "?" "would cross it again ?" "?" "?" ")" "The elections of 1961 in West Germany... take place within Cold War." "Your mother supports the political party "German Peace Union"... which is supported and funded by East Berlin." "(ULRIKE MEINHOF'S VOICE)" "The elections will take place on 17th of September." "That day you'll have to make... an important decision for your future:" "War or Peace?" "Whenever they demonstrated their soldiers... bombs and cannons, a war broke out!" "Remember!" "Two horrible world wars!" "Almost every family had victims to mourn for." "So as to get where?" "To a Germany in ruins!" "Is it necessary to happen again?" "Our program is summed up as follows:" "Neutrality." "No to nuclear." "If Germany remains neutral, we will achieve the reunification!" "The "German Peace Union" which had Renate Riemeck for president," "Ulrike's stepmother... collects just 2% of the votes." "Ulrike Meinhof and Klaus Rohl... dissociate more and more their position from East Berlin." "In 1964, the funding of "Konkret"... by the Communist Party (of East Germany) stops." "It manages to survive by the renewal of the frontpages... which break taboos of a prudish society... and soon becomes a leftist newspaper, with many readers in England in the 1960s." "Ulrike Meinhof becomes a famous journalist..." "She is appreciated by the whole country." "Those years Bettina, when we were children... we met and became friends." "I can remember our holidays at Sylt island." "Even today, I can't return to these places... without thinking of how carefree we used to be at that time." "The summer of 1967... constant waves of people walked on this road." "A colorful crowd, prominent people... not only rich ones, but also celebrities of cinema... press, radio and TV." "A constant up and down." "A choreography of vanity." "And in 1967, we saw here the mixing... of the old establishment with the new establishment of the Left." "Did you and Ulrike take part in it?" "Indeed, both Ulrike and me." "And after some initial difficulties... we very quickly let ourselves into this lifestyle... the world of nudists, rich and famous." "Ulrike didn't need much time... to attract the attention of this upper class, if we can speak about such a class... in a social life between nude people... at sun loungers on the beach." "I think in particular the beach parties... that ended with empty champagne bottles in a row... on sand towers and next to empty oysters... that he wad probably eaten." "During our funny and shallow conversations... we also talked about APO (Extraparliamentary Opposition)... oppression, repression, the Third World... the Vietnam war etc..." "Everyone admired this beautiful... and smart woman." "Sometimes I think I'm going mad." "My relation with Klaus, the upper class... the interaction with students... are three things that seem to be incompatible with my life... and divide me." "The villa, all these celebrations, the holidays at the island... do not keep me satisfied enough... but are necessary, forming the basis of my becoming a subversive person." "Having all these contacts, the tv programs... the potential of being listened... is part of my job as a socialist journalist... and also increases my influence beyond "Konkret"." "It's rather pleasant for human standards... but it doesn't cover my needs for warmth, solidarity... my need to belong to a family." "The role that opened me the road for this world... can hardly satisfy me and my desires... because this world asserts my ideas as a fool's ideas... and thus obliges me to say smiling, things... that for me, for everyone, have fatal significance... obliges me to say them by making grimaces, like I'm wearing a mask." "Good evening." "At this table, on the right..." "Ms Ulrike Meinhof who came from Hamburg... columnist of "Konkret" magazine... has established herself through arguments... that develops at the main articles of the magazine." "In my opinion, the problem is that... most of those who represent... the moral values of our society... have lost their reliability... since they have recognized national socialism." "The catholic church lost its reliability... by openly taking sides with national socialism." "So, the phenomenon presented here... is that we rightfully hesitate to trust the authorities... which are not reliable anymore... as long as social relations in our society... remain totally authoritarian." "PETER RUHMKORF WRITER" "In 1966, an incident happened in the political scene... that all of us had sensed:" "the grand coalition." "The grand coalition meant that..." "Kiesinger, an old nazi, was elected as chancellor... and Willy Brandt, former anti-nazi, as minister of foreign affairs." "Those who didn't recognize this formation... those who politically were out of this devastating... liaison between nazis and anti-nazis... started looking for an alternative solution... for gathering round and getting organized." "Ulrike was in this circle... which I then used to call "party republic"." "It was a small anti-republic." "On the one hand, Ulrike associated with the upper class... on the other, she was an active social critic, interested in children's rights," "interviewed women working in factories, did researches for the working class... of a society living in miserable conditions." "This is the main contradiction that constantly comes around... forges her life... and finally destroys her." "Another drama is added to this." "I've never seen in my long life... so many couples divorcing, relationships, new meetings and so many glance and bed exchanges." "Our lives were reckless and free." "This was the activity range... of the "party republic"." "And oddly, among the couples... that faced the test of divorce... were Klaus and Ulrike." "Ulrike was victim of this libertine life... however, a life that she was responsible for too." "This is the house Ulrike chose." "We bought it in 1967... but in 1968, a few months later, she abandoned it." "When we bought this house..." "I had already an affair, a new love." "When we settled in, we made a big party." "The whole Hamburg came." "But this party looked like a wedding party... only that the bride was my new lover." "Your mother." "Childhood memories... random and elusive memories... of the erotic coming and going among the four parents." "At that time we, the children, would just find the chance... to spend more time together." "However, I can still remember my curiosity and your embarrassment... in front of the emotional confusion that was always present between our fathers." "It sounds funny to me being said... that my children grew up in a crazy environment." "It's an exaggeration to call it crazy but how did you live it?" "At that time, Ulrike was more interested in politics rather than men." "I met her in 1965" "Her recruitment, as we used to say it back then the way she cared, her own activities were so intense that her husband compared to them, was almost nonexistent" "I definitely disagree" "Certainly was Ulrike a strongly political person but I think that the quote that characterizes her better is..." ""Down here, you are afraid, but look at me..." "She chose these exact words for her nomination" "The last message she left to us... the illegal message she left a day before her death... while being imprisoned, says..." ""Fear is reactionary"" "She says that she is afraid, that she cannot take it anymore but the fact that she is afraid would be reactionary itself" "So you have this orphan kid" "She lost her father at the age of 5 and her mother when she was 13 years old" "and for the first time this orphan with a maturity that neither I, nor others around her had... she manages to have a successful career, a family, children, a home" "everything someone needs as an orphan child" "to overpass the loneliness the sorrow,the desertion and fear" "And they took all these away from her, at least, that's what she thought and that is what disappointed her deeply" "Dear Peter a few words of mine since everything took a truly permanent turn" "I'd like to say that I left for real and certainly my decision to leave relieved me" "this fact itself is painful of course but I've already found an apartment in Berlin with a small garden it is pefect for my needs there's only some tinkers to be done" "I don't know how else I could leave if not abruptly but abruptly doesn't mean that" "Long time now, it was cold and humidity was high and I was wet to the bone" "If only you could find the time to speak to me," "I would be very happy" "Kisses Ulrike" "In 1968, the student's uprising reaches its zenith" "The Police's repression of the demonstrations is very violent" "During one of them a student got killed by the police" "This demonstration revealed that our Country is a police-state country" "the terrorism by the police and the press..." "The only freedom in this country is the freedom of the police truncheon and the freedom of press is only concerned how to justify this" "the resistance of the extra-parliamentary opposition brought out the real status of our democracy" "the commanding ranks choose terror as their answer whenever the democrats claim their rights" "In 1968 is the leader of the student movement" "Ulrike Meinhof discusses this incident in her articles about the right to resist and fight back" "The enlistment cannot break through" "The whole press adores the enlistment of the youth" "but they do all agree that our cause is questionable" "This is the question we strive to answer" "We support a rationalism with a human face" "Our action does not object to war generally, as they say" "It's in favor of those who fight to free themselves from terror and violence" "If war is the only way, we do support their war!"
