Apartment of Ralf Wohlleben

Ralf Wohlleben (born 1975) lived initially in Jena-Göschwitz in the early 1990s, before moving into an apartment on Burgweg. He belonged to the innermost circle around Böhnhardt, Mundlos, and Zschäpe, and was an initiator of actions and applications for demonstrations. For a time he was registered as living at the “Braunes Haus” (“Brown House”) in Altlobeda. As district chairman of the NPD in Jena from 1998, he sought to exert political influence at the municipal level. On 24 November 2011, he was arrested by the Thuringia State Criminal Police Office and brought before the investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice. He was suspected of having helped the trio flee and of having handed over a weapon with ammunition to the trio. In the Munich trial, he was sentenced in 2018 to ten years in prison for aiding and abetting murder.
