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.

One of the creepiest things I know is the story of the Hinterkaifeck murders, which took place in Germany in 1922. The Hinterkaifeck farmstead was located about 70 km north of Munich and was home to the Gruber family, consisting of Andreas Gruber, his wife, his daughter, her two children, and the family maid. In the days leading up to the murders, the family reported a series of strange occurrences. Footprints were found in the snow leading from the nearby forest to the farm, but none leading back. Mysterious noises were heard in the attic, and a set of keys went missing. Despite these unsettling events, the family didn't seek help or notify the authorities. On the night of March 31, 1922, the six inhabitants of the farm were brutally murdered with a mattock, a farming tool similar to a pickaxe. The killer(s) had first lured the elder Grubers and their daughter into the barn, killing them one by one. They then entered the house, where they murdered the two children and the maid. The case remains unsolved to this day, with no known motive or suspects. Adding to the eeriness, the killer(s) appeared to have stayed on the farm for several days after the murders, as neighbors reported seeing smoke coming from the chimney and the farm animals were fed and cared for. Despite numerous investigations and theories, the identity of the Hinterkaifeck murderer(s) remains a mystery https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGFjX3OfIi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ever heard of the Hinterkaifeck murders? This creepy unsolved case from 1922 will give you chills!

A family of six was brutally murdered in their Bavarian farmhouse, and here's the freaky part: there were footsteps in the snow leading to the house, but none leaving. Was the killer hiding inside? The previous maid had quit, swearing the place was haunted after hearing footsteps in the attic and feeling a spooky presence.

And get this—after the murders, the killer stayed at the farm for days, feeding the animals and eating meals. Despite investigations, no motive or suspect was ever found. The farm was demolished, but locals still report eerie sightings and sounds. What do you think happened at Hinterkaifeck?

Hinterkaifeck Murders

Yes, I am aware Buzzfeed Unsolved covered this topic. But screw it it's my blog I can write whatever I want

in farm in Bavaria there lived a family. Called the Gruber Family and there were six of them. Andreas, Cäzilla, Viktoria, Cäzilla (different one), Josef and their maid Maria who were all vicitims of the murders

Some strange things were going on at the household. Their previous maid quit 6 months before the killings because she was convinced the noises coming from the attic were due to the house being haunted (she was on to something eh?)

On the night of the murder, 31st March 1922. There were more noises stemming from the attic which Andreas investigated but found no one. Some other strange occurrences within the home were the lock of the machine room being broken (this will make sense later)

Based on what was seen, it seems as if Andreas, Viktoria and both of the Cäzillas (one being Andreas's wife, other being Viktoria's daughter) were lured through their stable into the barn and then were killed with a mattock (an axe kinda weapon)

The killer(s) went through the living quarters, murdered Josef in his sleep and then went to Maria's room and killed her as well with the very same mattock.

What I find shocking is that, this area of Germany is so remote that no one discovered the bodies until 4 days later. Which is uh, a yikes moment to say the least. A few merchants and mechanics showed up to the house to work on small jobs around the house but they weren't aware what happened to the Gruber family. The bodies remained undiscovered until a few people connected with the family, Johann and Josef Schlittenbauer along with Micheal Pöll and Jakob Sigl found the bodies of the Gruber family to their absolute horror.

Some suspects included a man named Karl Gabriel who was Viktoria's daughter and had reportedly died in the World War I in France. Many suspect that he wasn't actually dead because after the second world war ended in 1945 a German speaking Soviet soldier had claimed responsibility of the murders and then left. People suspect that the solider was Karl (what??)

Another suspect was rumored to be a lover of Viktoria and went by the name of Lorenz Schlittenbauer. He's a huge suspect in this case as he's rumored to be the father of Josef. After the bodies were discovered he and his friend broke into the farm and Lorenz used a key to enter the house, which damning as the key had been missing for some time. It's also accepted that while Lorenz was in the house to investigate he tampered with the bodies. When he was questioned as to why he was in the house, his reasoning was that he wanted to check up on Josef.

So yes, quite a few suspects are there but these two seem to be the most interesting. I am not sure who the Hinterkaifeck murderer is but Lorenz Schlittenbauer has a really interesting story in this case let's leave it at that.

Unsolved re-watch | True Crime Season 1 | The Horrifying Unsolved Slaughter At Hinterkaifeck Farm.

This case haunts me. It will forever creep me the fuck out, it’s horrible.

“So this is like fanfiction or something” “Dude, there is like pictures and--” “You work at BuzzFeed, you don���t know how to doctor pictures?” “These aren’t doctored!” Brent, agent of chaos.

This video frustrates me a little bit because it lefts out so many of the investigation’s details and evidence of someone living in there before and after the murders. Like, they just mention it in passing in this video. I’m so glad they have so much time to discuss the cases and theories now.

“Do you wanna hear why she thought the house was haunted?” “No.” “So, she thought--” Poetic cinema.

A story that has it all: murder, incest, “ghosts” and six lost heads.

Another faceless episode, lmao.

I like that they ask at the end what cases people would like to see, which meant it was already serialized by this second episode. Good for you, lil Ryan!

[thatforestprince]

arcade, reading something off a terminal cause chance can’t read very well: the heads were removed for autopsy, only to be lost later.

arcade: how do you lose 6 heads?!

chance: dude its 1922... things get lost

arcade: that’s so many heads how do you lose that many heads

chance: i.. government, man.

Hinterkaifeck Farm chat 5

Ellen: For suspects, they really only had one legitimate guy and it was their neighbor. Epel: It can't be the neighbor. Think about it practically; if he's running his own farm, when does he have time to live in someone else's house and like wake up in the morning and feed his cows? That's a 6 man job that 1 person was doing.

UNSOLVED But Not Forgotten: The 1922 Hinterkaifeck Murders

In 1922 a family of 5 and their maid would be stalked and murdered in their farm home, where the killer(s) remained for three days after the murder, spending time with their corpses. This case remains unsolved 100 years later.

The Hinterkaifeck Farm was built in 1863 and located in the North of Munich, Germany. Inside the home resided a family of five, Andreas Gruber, 63, Cazilia Gruber, 72, their daughter Viktoria Gabriel, 35, and her two children Cazilia, 7, and Josef, 2. They had also recently hired a new made just one night prior to the murders, Maria Baumgartner, 44. On the evening of March 31st, 1922, all six members of the household were murdered by an unknown attacker(s). Each victim died from blunt force trauma to the head, and four of the bodies were found stacked up inside of the barn, believing that each victim was lured in there one by one. Josef was found dead inside of his bassinet, and Maria was found in her bedroom.

Four days had gone by before the bodies were discovered. The home was first approached by a woman on April 1st who was selling coffee and looking to take orders. She knocked on both the door and the window but no one answered. She walked around the barn, but found no one. On April 4th a man named Albert Hofner went to the barn to repair the engine of the food shopper. He claimed that he didn’t see any members of the household, and didn’t hear any noise outside of the barn yard animals and a dog barking. He waited an hour for someone to come home, and then started his repair which took around 4 and a half hours. Still, no one had shown up, and he left. Around 3:30 that same day, a man named Lorenz Schlittenbauer sent his son Johann, 16, and step-son Josef, 9, to the home to see if they could contact the family. When the boys returned and said they couldn’t find anyone, Lorenz went to the barn himself with Michael Poll and Jakob Sigl. The men entered the barn, where they saw four dead bodies. They then entered the home where they found the remaining two bodies and contacted the police.

The Investigation

Police found out that strange things were occurring around the farm that the family never reported or received help about. The original maid had left six months before the attack due to hearing footsteps in the attic. She heard them so consistently that she believed the home was haunted and quit. Andreas also found a peculiar newspaper on his lawn from Munich sometime in March of 1922, and neither he nor anyone else in his home subscribed to these newspapers. He thought that the mailman possibly dropped in by accident, however, he found out no one around his vicinity subscribed to this paper either. Just a couple days before the murders occured, Andreas told his neighbors that not only did he find fresh tracks in the snow that lead from the forest to a broken door lock to his machine room, but he also heard footsteps in the attic and found no one when he went up there to search. Even though he told several people about these strange occurrences, he refused to accept any help about the issue, claiming he could handle it on his own.

Crime scene investigators noticed that the crime scene had been tampered with, as items were moved around along with the bodies. It’s speculated that the attacker(s) stayed in the home for three days before vanishing. The cattle had been fed, all the bread in the pantry had been eaten, and there was also recently cut meat out as well. Police originally thought this was a robbery gone wrong, but when a large amount of money was found inside the home, this theory was thrown out the window. When the bodies were sent in for autopsies it was established that each victim was killed with a mattock, but the crime scene was never found. It was also shown that seven year old cazilia was alive for several hours after she was struck, and had torn clumps of her hair out while she bled out on the straw. It was noted in the report that victims were probably lured out to the barn due to noises the animals were making from being restless. However, it was later determined that not even human screams were able to be heard from the barn, so it was highly unlikely that they would hear the animals stirring. On the night of the crime, craft worker Michael Plockl walked past the farm and noticed that the oven had been heated by someone. While he was walking an unknown man blinded him with a lantern before he scurried away. He also noticed a putrid smell that was coming from the fireplace, however the police did not further investigate this claim, and no further investigations were done to try and figure out what had possibly been burning in the fireplace.

A farmer and butcher, Simon Reißländer, was walking by the property on his way home around 3AM on April 1st, and noticed two unknown figures at the edge of the forest. When the two suspicious strangers noticed him, they quickly turned around so he couldn’t see their faces. When he heard about the murders, he thought it was highly possible that these strangers were the culprits. In May of 1927, a man was said to stop a resident of Waidhofen and began asking questions about the murder. He then shouted that he was the killer before running away and disappearing in the woods. This strange man was never found again, however, he was probably just a crazy man looking for attention. The police tried to formulate a list of suspects, and have made many arrests, however no one was ever charged for the murder, and the case was officially closed in 1955. There was one last interrogation in 1986 before the lead detective on the case retired, but that suspect was eventually cleared.

MAIN SUSPECTS

Karl Gabriel who was the husband of Viktoria Gabriel was reportedly killed in 1914 during the first World War. However, his body was never recovered. It’s speculated that he had never really died during the war and came back to murder the family. This theory is also believed due to rumors going around that after the second World War, captives from the Schrobenhausen region who had been released from soviet captivity claimed that they had been sent home by a German-Speaking soviet officer who claimed to have been the Hinterkaifeck murderer. These claims can’t really be taken seriously as the captives later revised their story, which diminishes the credibility of their original claim. It’s also rumored that Andrea’s and Viktoria had participated in incest, which resulted in the birth of baby Josef.

Lorenz Schlittenbauer was also rumored to have had a relationship with Viktoria, and that he was the father of baby Josef. It was believed that he was the murderer due to his strange behavior right after he found the bodies. When he and his two friends went to the farm to investigate, they had to break the lock to the barn in order to enter it. However, right after that he was able to unlock the front door with a key and suspiciously entered the home. His friends asked him why he entered the home when he wasn’t sure if the killer(s) were still inside, he allegedly said that he went in to look for his son Josef. A key to the home also went missing several days before the murders, but it’s very possible that since he was a neighbor and a trusted friend, along with being the possible lover of Viktoria, he had been given a spare key incase of emergencies. It was also known that he had disturbed the bodies, which had compromised the crime scene for investigators. He has remained the prime suspect for many years due to his strange comments about murders that seemed like things only the killer would know about. The home was eventually demolished, and in 1925 he was caught lurking around the property. When he was asked why he was there, he stated that the suspects' attempt to bury the families remains in the barn had been hindered by the frozen ground. This caused investigators to believe he had knowledge of the ground during the time of the murders, but considering he was a neighbor and familiar with the land, he could’ve been making an educated guess. It was also speculated that he had murdered the family after Viktoria demanded child support from him. Before he passed away in 1941, he conducted and won multiple civil claims for slander against persons who described him as the Hinterkaifeck murderer.

Adolf and Anton Gump were suspects of the case since April 9th due to their connections to the Freikorps Oberland. They were investigated again in 1951, after their sister Kreszentia Mayer, swore on her deathbed that her brothers were the murderers. Anton Gump was arrested and taken into custody, but Adolf had passed away in 1944. Anton was eventually dismissed once again, and the case against him was officially closed in 1954 due to having no evidence of him being involved in the crime.

Karl and Andreas S’s mother was witnessed by 12 year old Therese T visiting her mother and claiming that her two sons were the Hinterkaifeck murderers. When she got older she wrote a letter in 1971 she wrote a letter explaining what she witnessed. She said that she overheard the mother saying, “Andreas regretted that he lost his penknife.” In 1923 when the house was torn down, a penknife was actually found and couldn’t be linked to anyone. However, the penknife could’ve belonged to one of the murder victims, so the lead wasn’t strong enough to investigate. The former maid also disclosed that she was pretty sure she saw that penknife on the property before.

Peter Weber was assumed to be a suspect by Josef Betz who worked together during the winter of 1919 and 1920, and shared a chamber together. Betz claimed that Weber spoke about Hinterkaifeck farm and knew that an elderly couple lived their with their daughter and grandchildren, and it’s possible that he knew about the incest relationship between Andreas and Viktoria. Betz testified that Weber suggested joining forces to “kill the old man and take all their money,” but when Betz didn’t respond to the offer, he stopped talking about it.

Anton and Karl Bichler, and Georg Seigl were declared as suspects by Hinterkaifeck former maid, Kreszenz Reiger, who worked there from November 1920 to September 1921. She claimed that the brothers helped with harvesting the potatoes and knew the premises pretty well. She claimed that they talked to her often about the family, and claimed they mentioned that the family “ought to be dead.” She also mentioned that the farm dog, who barked at everyone, never barked at Anton, which made her believe that he was around long enough to make the dog feel comfortable. She also believed that Georg Siegl aided in the murders due to knowing about the families wealth, and apparently had broken into their home in November of 1920 and stole valuable items, but there’s no concrete evidence that this happened, and of course he denied it. Georg did state however, that he had carved the handle to the murder weapon, and knew that it would be kept in the barn passage. I’m not sure why he felt the need to disclose that information, but nonetheless, he was never questioned further.

Thaler Brothers had already committed minor burglaries in the area before the murders took place. The same former maid as before stated that Josef Thaler had stood outside her window and started asking her questions about the family. She claimed that he had told her that he knew where each member of the household slept, and that he knew about the amount of money they had. She also claimed that their was another man with Josef nearby, and that both men stared at the machine house and turned their eyes upward before leaving the window.

Paul Mueller was named as a possible suspect of the murders by Author Bill James, in his book called “The Man From The Train.” He explains that paul was a German immigrant who came to the United States, and he was the only suspect in the murder of a Massachusetts family in 1897. He believes that he fled back to Germany after private investigators and Journalists were zeroing in on him regarding other cases that occurred in 1912 regarding two families in the same night, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. These three murders were eerily similar to the Hinterkaifeck murders.
