Talk:Fritz Haarmann/Archive 1

Untitled
It has never been proved that Haarmaan did actually eat his victims. He had been well known in Hannover for selling meat at low price, but also it never has been proved that it was the flesh of his victims.

Even though Hanover in German is written with a double-n, in English, it is not.

In this Text: "From 1919 to 1924, Haarmann committed at least 24 murders,"

but in the German and Netherland articles it is written, that he started to murder at 1918!--DanielMrakic 09:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

There's 27 names listed on the memorial-thing @ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Hannover_cemetery_stoecken_grave_Fritz_Haarmann_victims.jpg Also please notice that they've left some space on the stone for a few more names. Coincidental?

The third paragraph of this article states that Haarmann was beheaded, but in the context of the rest of the paragraph that is not possible.

He was caught when the police began to recieve complaints that articles of clothing being worn and sold by Haarmaan once belonged to the missing people that were traced to Haarmaan. Proof that he did sell his victims' possessions to the public. One could easly come to the conclusion that he also sold their meat. Otherwise, to where did their bodies disappear? The blood splatter and constant chopping, heard by neighbors, would also provde evidece to this theory.

starred in a minor role
"Rainer Werner Fassbinder also starred in a minor role" -- one cannot "star" in a "minor role." RWF was producer of "Tenderness of the Wolves," which is probably better worth a mention than his cameo appearance in the film. I am making changes in this regard. 67.232.140.2 (talk) 22:21, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Execution method
Was he beheaded with use of guillotine or an axe? Darth Kalwejt 18:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The German article on him claims it was done by guillotine. Jokl (talk) 11:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * In Germany, since the second half at least of the 19th century, "beheading" as a method of execution invariably means the guillotine, and was actually the usual method of non-military execution (the Nazis introduced hanging for those they wanted to ostracize even more, which before 1944 or 1945 or so was applied only rarely; the GDR changed to "unexpected shot from backwards at near range" in the 1960s).--131.159.76.185 (talk) 13:08, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The article now clarifies the precise method. In fact, Haarmann (unsuccessfully) requested his execution be filmed.--Kieronoldham (talk) 20:21, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hans Grans

 * After serving his sentence, Hans Grans continued to live in Hanover until his death in 1975.

The German Wikipedia claims that Grans, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 1926, was kept in concentration camps from 1937 to 1945, i.e. longer than his sentence. Unfortunately they don't provide a source, but if true, this fact should be added. Nazi victims are not only those who were completely innocent... --Ibn Battuta (talk) 20:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Some sources
''Mordlust. Serienmorde, Gewalt und Emotionen im 20. Jahrhundert'', by Kerstin Brückweh, is important. There's an essay on the case by Kathrin Kompisch in Repräsentationen von Kriminalität und öffentlicher Sicherheit (eds. Karl Harter/Gerhard Salter/Eva Wiebel, 2010). Maria Tatar's Lustmord:Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany treats Haarmann. There are plenty more reviews of books that discuss the case. More relevant, perhaps, here are individual studies, the most useful and recent of which is probably by Joshua Kavaloski, who BTW refers to Lessing's book as "reliable". And that article (that I skimmed, a bit) will also provide useful information on some of the "legacy" (that he figures in Berlin Alexanderplatz, for instance). Sorry, there's more there, but I gotta go. Drmies (talk) 22:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Clarification or correction needed: "honorary rights of citizenship"
The second paragraph in the lead section makes the nonsensical claim that Haarmann's "honorary rights of citizenship" were revoked after his conviction.

The term "honorary rights of citizenship" either requires clarification or correction.

As far as I'm aware, "honorary rights of citizenship" is not a recognised term in English. I can also not find it mentioned in any native (!) English resources.

While there does appear to be a term called "honorary rights", this sits within the context of Roman Catholic canon law (see Jus patronatus). Therefore it is distinct from citizenship law/rights and irrelevant to this context.

I also considered whether the author had meant to say that Haarmann's "honorary citizenship" had been revoked. However, given Haarmann's history it appears unlikely that he had not been born with German citizenship – and even more improbable that he had been granted German honorary citizenship at any point in his life.

Unfortunately the German version of this article does not provide any further clarification on this wording issue. In fact, the German version does not appear to mention neither the German words for "revocation" nor "citizenship".

Is it possible the author meant to say: "Haarman's civil rights were revoked" after his conviction? If so, this leads to the next issue -> see separate talk page item: "in accordance with German practice". Mongrelmusings (talk) 01:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
