Traces of murderers in Lüneburg: New witnesses reveal shocking clues!

An exciting evening is coming: On June 20, 2025, crime thriller fans will gather at the Knight Academy in Lüneburg. From 7:30 p.m., an insightful lecture about the notorious serial killer Kurt-Werner Wichmann will take place as part of the “Murderers on the Trail” event series. Among the speakers are Reinhard Chedor, the former head of the Hamburg State Criminal Police Office, and Dr. Tino Grosche. Together they will shed light on the shocking details about Wichmann, who also became known as the “murderous darling”.

Kurt-Werner Wichmann, who lived between 1949 and 1993, is linked to a terrible record of almost 100 women who became victims of his actions across Germany. Investigators still disagree about the exact number of crimes that can be attributed to him, and new evidence suggests that there may have been active accomplices who have not yet been convicted. A witness came forward after a documentary was broadcast on television and reported an incident in Cuxhaven. This information could potentially significantly add to the puzzle to which Wichmann is a part, while other witnesses from central Germany also provided the investigators with valuable clues.

A look into the past

The criminal story surrounding Wichmann goes back to his childhood. At the age of 14, he was placed in a juvenile detention center because of violent attacks. The influence of a brutal father and his own criminal tendencies led to a series of crimes that accompanied Wichmann in his youth. His later lifestyle as a gardener in Lüneburg, where he lived in converted accommodation, also shaped his uncanny personality. This accommodation was not only a place of hiding, but also the setting for his dark secrets, including a secret torture room and hidden weapons that were later discovered during a house search.

The connection to other criminal cases is frightening. Wichmann is linked to the mysterious disappearances of women in the region. Particularly shocking is the relationship with Birgit Meier, who disappeared in 1989 and was found dead in a garage years later. An autopsy report confirmed she had been shot, and numerous unsolved cases were investigated after DNA evidence was found on a stolen vehicle linked to Wichmann. As the president of the Lüneburg police states, Wichmann could have left not only regional but also international traces.
