Live
Burkhard Garweg was born in Bonn. He moved with his parents to Hamburg when he was six, where he spent his youth. He has a brother and a sister. In 1987 he dropped out of school and began to associate with left-wing scene centred around Hamburg's Hafenstrasse. There he is said to have met fellow RAF members Daniela Klette and Ernst-Volker Staub.[1] At the turn of 1989/90 he went underground and probably joined the third generation of the RAF.
With Daniela Klette, Ernst-Volker Staub, and others, he is said to have been involved in the Weiterstadt prison bombing in 1993[2] by the RAF "Katharina Hammerschmidt Command".
A few days after the arrest of Daniela Klette on 26 February 2024 in Berlin, the police published new photographs of Garweg which had been found in Klette's apartment. The police searched a former industrial site on Markgrafendamm in the Friedrichshain district, where Garweg supposedly lived in a trailer under the name “Martin”. Police also raided apartments on Grünberger Straße and Corinthstraße in Friedrichshain, but did not locate Garweg.[3]
