Via Elliott Eisenberg On this day 95 years ago. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg were captured by Freikorps soldiers, on 15 January 1919, with considerable support from Minister of Defense Gustav Noske (SPD), and brought to the Eden Hotel in Berlin, where they were tortured and interrogated for several hours. Following this, Luxemburg was beaten to death with rifle butts and thrown into a nearby river while Liebknecht was shot in the back of the head then deposited as an unknown body in a nearby mortuary.
