Irmgard Möller

Irmgard Maria Elisabeth Möller (born 13 May 1947) is a German former militant. She joined the far-left terrorist group Red Army Faction (RAF) in 1971. After participating in two bombings, she was arrested the following year. During the German Autumn of 1977, she was one of the prisoners demanded by the RAF to be freed and was part of an alleged suicide pact in Stammheim Prison with Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe. The other three died and she survived, claiming it was an assassination attempt. She was released from prison in 1994.

Early life Irmgard Möller was born in 1947. She joined the Tupamaros Munich and lived in a commune with Fritz Teufel. She joined the Red Army Faction (RAF) in 1971. According to Müller, who later turned police informant, Möller and Angela Luther walked into the police headquarters in Augsburg and placed pipe bombs in empty offices on 12 May 1972. The subsequent explosions injured five policemen. Möller received a sentence of four and a half years in prison and in January 1977 was moved to the high-security Stammheim Prison, where she inhabited a floor with fellow RAF militants Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe.
