Overview
- Susann Eminger appeared before the Higher Regional Court in Dresden and, through her lawyers, declined to comment at the opening of the trial.
- Prosecutors charge her with supporting a terrorist organization and aiding an aggravated armed extortion, alleging she lent Beate Zschäpe her health‑insurance card, provided personal data for Bahncards and drove Zschäpe and Uwe Böhnhardt to pick up a motorhome later used in the 2011 Eisenach robbery.
- The court has set roughly 43–44 hearing days through June 2026, with Beate Zschäpe summoned to testify on December 3–4 and again at the end of January, testimony prosecutors describe as significant.
- The proceedings follow an April 2025 Federal Court of Justice decision that overturned a narrower Dresden ruling and allowed the full indictment to go forward.
- Dozens demonstrated outside the courthouse, no joint plaintiffs have been admitted, and witness testimony is scheduled to begin Friday with police investigators.
