Karl thinks, also" Pappa thinks "mentioned (* 12 August 1870 in Oberkunzendorf (today: Kalinowice Gorne, Poland); "† 22 December 1924 in cathedral mountain (today: Ziebice, Poland)) was a German series murderer.

Life

It was born 1870 in Oberkunzendorf (Schlesien) (on the certificate of dead however February 1860 is noted as date of birth 12. It is probable that this is actual date of birth.) and moved 1880 into the city cathedral mountain, where it committed its acts in the pond route 10.

On 20 December 1924 cries came from the dwelling of Karl think. The homeless person migratory worker Vincent of olive came with a gaping wound at the head from the door. A neighbour, that hurried to the assistance, did not believe the homeless person first that it had been attacked by the old man with a pointed heel. Think applied in the place as somewhat "schrullig"; in addition, as a benefactor, who had always a meal for homeless people and itinerant tradesmen. Of 1893 - 1895 it was and evang. Municipality, paid however starting from 1906 no more church tax and regarded themselves than withdrawn from the church.

Due to the accusation had the police a routine investigation of the dwelling of thinks for making. The authorities were shocked: With that much withdrawn living citizen of their city one found during the search the remnants of several humans, among them over 420 teeth, to 480 bones and from human meat prepared meals. Some were intended for the direct consumption, some were inserted to the preservation into In addition one found 3 suspenders manufactured from people skin and shoe-picks up.

Still in the night of his arrest itself think in his cell. Therefore he could be never cross-examined, and important details of its acts and over its victims could not be clarified.

At the time of the conclusion of the determinations came to light that think at least 31 humans slaughtered, finished, had eaten and parts of its meat on the Breslauer weekly market had sold, which was denied however by the speaker of the market. With the accuracy of an accountant thinks the names as well as detail had 4 women (usually vagrants) over "the battle weight "etc. of the 31 victims, of it carefully noted. The entries begin to 21.2.1903 (victim IDA Launer) and end to 17.11.1924 (no denomination).

Remarkable it is henceforth that in the same year before the series murderer Fritz hair man in Hanover and also the acts had been already arrested by Karl Grossmann made of Berlin at that time was uncovered. Amazingly many parallels came to day: All three series murderers were Kannibalen and the meat of their victims had probably also sold. In this time were however still much more series murderer on the way than the mentioned.

This amassment of series murderers draws also a picture of the Germany of the 1920er years 20. Century. The First World War and associated hunger emergencies as well as the industrialization of Germany and the social circulations exerted by it (poverty in the broad worker layer etc.) could have played a role with the development of series murderers. Likewise there was a large number of entwurzelten persons, who were on the search for work on the way and whose disappearing was noticeable rarely, if they fell a murderer to the victim.
