He killed two customs officers: Former RAF terrorist Rolf Heissler is dead The skyscrapers of this world – where most skyscrapers are

Heissler was regarded as one of the most ruthless RAF men. Whether Heissler shot employer president Hanns-Martin Schleyer will likely never be clarified.

Former RAF terrorist Rolf Heissler has passed away. This is reported by the newspaper “Bild” after obituaries about Heissler appeared in the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” and the “Frankfurter Allgemeine” last weekend.

For example, Heissler, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of two Dutch customs officials, died on May 18 in a hospital in Offenbach.

In an obituary published in the “SZ”, Heissler’s companions said he had experienced a “long political history”. “Started with the student movement in Munich, after 1975 in the RAF, then more than 20 years in prison, most recently in the Gallusviertel in Frankfurt.”

Heissler was considered an absolute hardliner within the Red Army faction: because of his brutal actions he was codenamed “Fury” (in German: Furie). In the meantime he had married the RAF leader Brigitte Mohnhaupt, and that is how he ended up in the left-wing terrorist group.

Mystery surrounding his involvement in Schleyer’s murder

In 1971, Heissler was jailed for bank robbery, but was subsequently released by the June 2 terrorist organization. In return, the then Berlin CDU chairman Peter Lorenz was released. In 1978, Heissler and a companion murdered two customs officers at a passport control in the Netherlands.

Investigators accused Heissler of actually executing the two men. He was arrested a year after the crime in his hometown of Frankfurt am Main during an explosive police operation in which he himself was seriously injured by a gunshot to the head. He was finally released on parole in 2001.

Heissler was also suspected of being responsible for the kidnapping and murder of employers’ chairman Hanns-Martin Schleyer in the fall of 1977, which remains unsolved to this day. Ex-RAF member Peter Jürgen Boock had claimed that Heissler fired the fatal shots along with Stefan Wisniewski.

However, in 2013, the federal prosecutor’s office stopped investigating the murder. Boock’s statements could not be confirmed. (t-online, PM)
