Aftermath
News of the rescue of the hostages was followed by the deaths of RAF members Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe at JVA Stuttgart-Stammheim. RAF member Irmgard Möller also attempted suicide but survived her injuries. On Wednesday 19 October, the body of Hanns-Martin Schleyer, who had been kidnapped by the RAF some 5 weeks prior to the hijacking, was found in the boot of a car on a Mulhouse side street after the RAF heard of the deaths of their comrades. They contacted the Paris newspaper Libération to announce his 'execution' and a subsequent post-mortem examination indicated that he had been killed the previous day.

After the Landshut crisis, the German government stated that it would never negotiate with terrorists again (as it had previously with the Lufthansa Flight 649 and 615 hijacks). Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was widely praised internationally for his decision to storm the aircraft to rescue the hostages.
