Rosa Luxemburg's body was thrown into Berlin's Landwehr Canal, where it was found only on 1 July. [112] The perpetrators for the most part went unpunished.
Liebknecht was taken from the hotel shortly after Luxemburg and after getting into a waiting car was knocked almost unconscious, again by Otto Runge.
