Holger Meins (19411974), a member of the Baader-Meinhof-Gruppe, died after a hunger strike in a German prison. His death has been interpreted in different ways ever since: as murder, suicide, a martyrs death, a sacrifice, or just a pointless fatality. His life also offered plenty of room for speculation. Apart from being a terrorist, Meins was also a painter, filmmaker, and photographer. 25 years after his death, Gerd Conradt offers his view on the life and motives of the man he attended film school with. Conradts conclusion is that Meins was one of those people who had to live radically. «If I knew who God was, I would also know who I am», Meins wrote at the age of 20.
