Fritz Haarmann: The Vampire of Hanover, Germany

Fritz Haarmann: The Vampire of Hanover, Germany

Fritz Haarmann, the infamous "Butcher of Hanover," was one of Germany’s most prolific serial killers, luring young men and boys to their deaths between 1918 and 1924. His gruesome method of murder—biting through his victims’ throats—earned him the nickname "The Vampire of Hanover," while rumors swirled that he sold human meat on the black market. Protected for years by his status as a police informant, Haarmann was finally exposed after human bones flooded the Leine River, leading to his arrest, trial, and execution, but his crimes left a lasting stain on German history, particularly for the gay community, which faced intensified persecution in the years that followed.
