Serial Killer Autopsy: Peter Kürten, The Vampire of Düsseldorf A Comprehensive Psychological and Criminal Analysis In the winter of 1929, the industrial city of Düsseldorf became a hunting ground for one of history's most terrifying predators. Over nine months of escalating violence, Peter Kürten murdered at least nine people and attempted to kill seven more, terrorizing a population of half a million and earning the nickname that would define his legacy: The Vampire of Düsseldorf. Serial Killer Autopsy: Peter Kürten conducts a meticulous examination of one of the most psychologically complex and disturbing criminal cases of the twentieth century. This is not sensationalized true crime but rigorous forensic analysis, a systematic dissection of how a traumatized child became a sexual sadist who derived orgasmic pleasure from causing death. A Warning: This book contains detailed discussions of extreme violence, sexual sadism, child murder, and psychological pathology. It is intended for mature readers seeking serious examination of disturbing subject matter, not for those seeking entertainment from violence. Unflinching yet respectful, analytical yet accessible, this autopsy reveals not just what Peter Kürten did but how he became capable of it and what his case continues to teach us about evil, empathy, and the fragile boundaries that separate the civilized from the monstrous. The monster has been dead for nearly a century. The questions he raised remain urgently alive. "A comprehensive, psychologically sophisticated examination of one of criminal history's most disturbing cases. This is true crime at its most serious and scholarly, essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the psychology of serial murder." "Unflinching in its examination of extreme violence while maintaining ethical awareness and respect for victims. A model of how such cases should be studied and presented. " "Combines rigorous research with accessible prose, making complex psychological and criminological concepts understandable without sacrificing depth or nuance."
