Annette Ramelsberger

Annette Ramelsberger is court reporter for the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Tanjev Schultz is political editor of the same newspaper and Rainer Stadler works on the paper’s colour supplement, Magazin. For this book the journalists worked through, consolidated and edited more than 3,000 pages of their notes – not least to guard against later misunderstandings and myth-building. All the more important since there is currently no provision in German courts for the publication of an official transcript of proceedings – not even for such a politically charged and extraordinary case as the NSU trial.
