Fritz Haarmann: The Butcher of Hanover Who Hunted in the Shadows

In this haunting 26-minute episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale guides listeners through the gruesome true story of Fritz Haarmann, infamously known as The Butcher of Hanover. Between 1918 and 1924, Haarmann lured homeless boys and runaways from train stations into his attic flat — where he raped, murdered, and dismembered them, often biting through their throats and draining their blood. Working as a police informant by day and a predator by night, Haarmann eluded suspicion while disposing of his victims' remains in the Leine River — and possibly selling their flesh on the black market. With eerie detail and immersive storytelling, this episode explores how a broken post-war Germany allowed one of its most sadistic monsters to flourish unnoticed… until the bones began to surface.
