Description
Peter Kürten: A Notorious Killer
German serial killer Peter Kürten was known for his brutal murders and the hysteria he triggered in the Rhineland. His crimes, which took place during the Weimar Republic era, garnered international attention due to their brutality and notoriety.
The nickname "The Vampire of Düsseldorf" was given to him after an incident in December 1929, where Kürten killed a young swan and drank its blood. This gruesome act, along with other reports of him drinking from his victims' blood, has become infamous in the history of true crime.
