First apartment of Zschäpe, Mundlos and Böhnhardt

On 26 January 1998, the Jena neo-Nazis Beate Zschäpe, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt fled to Chemnitz after police had seized explosives in their garage in Jena. They are believed to have already networked with the leading Chemnitz neo-Nazis in 1991/1992, including the neo-Nazi Thomas S. from the group Chemnitz Concerts 88 (CC88), who was also deputy leader of Blood & Honour in Chemnitz and later became an informant for the Berlin state criminal police office (LKA). S. had previously procured around one kilogram of TNT for Mundlos — the explosives whose discovery in Jena led to the trio going underground. S. put the three of them up with his friend Thomas R. at Friedrich-Viertel-Straße 85 in the Heckert district, where they stayed for about two weeks. At that time, the Heckert district was the hub of life for many neo-Nazis. The house where Thomas R. lived was regarded at the time as a “Nazi shared flat” and was known within the scene as “Combat 85.”
