Gabriele Kröcher-Tiedemann (1951–1995) was a German urban guerrilla activist, associated with Movement 2 June (J2M) and the Second Generation Red Army Faction. She was the wife of the J2M guerrillero Norbert Kröcher. Her nom de guerre was "Nada".
Kröcher-Tiedemann was born in Ziegendorf in Mecklenburg, Germany on 18 May 1951. She studied at a grammar school in Bielefeld before moving to Berlin to study politics and sociology. At that time she was associated with communes in Berlin and was opposed to Americans occupying Germany after World War II.
It is not clear at what point Kröcher-Tiedemann went , but in 1973 she shot a policeman in a Buchen carpark after he tried to arrest her for stealing number plates. She was subsequently arrested and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
However, as a result of the Peter Lorenz kidnapping, she was freed two years later in 1975 and flown to Yemen.
OPEC siege
On 21 December 1975 she participated with the international terrorist "Carlos the Jackal" in a raid on the OPEC headquarters in Vienna. There she murdered two people: one was a policeman named Anton Tichler and the other was a plainclothes Iraqi security guard who had managed to grab hold of Kröcher-Tiedemann. While he was attempting to control her weapon, Kröcher-Tiedemann produced a second gun and shot the man through the head.
