To help you a little with the name: "Hinter" is indeed "behind", Kaif could have two meanings: In all probability, it could come from the name Kaipff, a surname that only occurs in Bavaria. There is also a Middle German translation of the word kaif, which roughly means fierce. I would translate it bluntly as "behind Kaif's corner". There was probably once a farm or a cottage there that belonged to a Kai(p)f(f), and this place/farm was behind it. :)

Not that sensational as "Where warriors fuck", I guess😅

On the Hinterkaifeck Murders we all know about:

The name really needs to be spelled "Hinter Kaifex." That's more metal.

The name just means "behind Kaifeck," because it was a farm "behind" the now-extinct village of Kaifeck in Bavaria. I tried to find out what "Kaifeck" means in German for 10 minutes and got nothing but suspicious garbage from disreputable websites. So that means I can make something up. It is a placename meaning "where the warriors f*ck". That's exciting!

The family involved in this whole thing had already had at least one official incest conviction, and admitted to another one. And the dad was well known to beat the sh*t out of everyone in the house. Pardon me for being politically incorrect, but if you're already making babies with your own daughter and angrily defending it, AND hitting people, I'm not shocked that this ended with everyone dying of axes to the head.

Their maid and one of the kids said ghosts or demons were about. In the incest beatings house. Again, cancel me if you want, but God knows what colorful psychological disorders were plaguing everyone connected with this awful situation. You don't need to add spookiness to it to spice it up. It is plenty spicy enough.

A popular theory is that a random serial killer got to them. Again: the odds of a roving serial killer tagging the creepy violent incest family in the woods are very slim. Maybe it was one of the 200 local people who absolutely hated them because they were gross and weird? Just an idea.

I appreciate that the children were all innocent victims of this. But they were also there when someone decided to do hatchet-murders. If someone is going to cross that line, they're probably not going to discriminate.

The government bulldozed the entire farm less than a year after all this happened. They were so utterly done with this mess immediately. I get it.

This happened in the 1920s in Germany. You're not going to solve it. You're only doing YouTube videos about it so you can get views showing the crime scene photos, and then claim they are "historically important" pictures of hacked bodies, when Google inevitably tries to take the video down. You're not valiantly trying to solve the mystery, Scoob.

I live in rural Pennsylvania so maybe I'm just not impressed by mysterious incest-related axe murders.

so I've been clicking on every Nosferatu review that pops up on YouTube and this one reviewer said "I wish they did hold off on the perverted romance, I don't need that in my movies" and I was so immediately and viscerally repulsed lol

New Franz collectible in town :)

She had the look in her eye when you kick and kick at the door and it doesn’t open, when you write a boy letters and letters and he never loves you, not ‘til the day he dies. Not even then.

Marie being Marie again 😅

La commédienne exits from here and I hurry to tell you my impressions without retinence or diplomacy. I found her with a devastated face, almost ugly, of a thin and emaciated appearence, not at all a great lady, less intellectual than I thought. She's remained a hour and hasn't said a word of even little significance, she rotates her eyes in a very unpleasant and affected manner and besides this diffuses around herself a je ne sais quoi air of falsehood and malignity. I believe to have conducted myself naturally and in any way more intellectually than her. She was at first quite inihibited, then more and more loose: in short I have to praise myself for my course of action, but I have of her a most detestable opinion (did you know that she does communion?).

From time to time, I miss my little other -family, especially in times like this. <3 Sometimes even sad events lead people to talk to each other again, no matter where they are in the world right now.

Okay, guys, your chance is here. Fancy an Asmr track with your favourite historical figures? We are here. Between Christmas and New Year, we're ready to record your wishes. Even anonymously. German, English or French (Canadian French). Fanfiction, Ideas, whatever. And damn, give me a chance to do this scene on the balcony in Berlin with Liszt. I wouldn't dare otherwise.

Why is everyone so crazy about David Garrett and Hauser, while Daniel Müller-Schott is out there, playing Schumann? He doesn't even need to open his shirt to a wind machine. I mean....C'mon:

This morning I received the news that one of the greatest and nicest people in the world of variety and theatre has passed away unexpectedly. And I am terribly sad and horrified. 😞

Knut Gminder was more than just a director.

He was one of the good ones. Someone who not only had a fantastic sense of dry humour, but also a human eye for artists and the stage. And passion! A restless man, always on the lookout for new ideas. I loved working with him so much. No matter how long the rehearsal weeks could be (and we had a lot of rehearsals) there was nothing better than philosophising with Knut in the middle of the night over a beer about Montana Sacra or Kate Bush. He loved films and music. And the more specific, the better. There was nothing more marvellous than seeing him at night after a premiere party, grinning so rapturously and happily, because then he was content. The thought that he is no longer there is completely surreal. Actors, singers and circus artists from all over the world have not only lost a colleague, but also a friend. My condolences to his family. And to those who will have to celebrate a final performance in a fortnight' time with an empty seat in their midst - much strength.

"We are the show." And the show must go on.

Even if it hurts.

Hmm, I don't know yet, I don't know yet. I'm missing that certain something. Franz's eyes were already one of a kind. It will probably be difficult to get close to that anyway ;)
