Alfred Engleder
Alfred Engleder (born January 18, 1920 in Sierning ; † April 30, 1993 in Vienna ) was an Austrian laborer and serial killer who became known as the so-called beast of Sierning and the murderer with the bricklayer .
Deeds
Alfred Engleder was able to prove two murders and four attempted murders. Years later, the initially unsuccessful search for Engleder served the cabaret artist Helmut Qualtinger as a template for the crime play company Kornmandl . The false suspicion and imprisonment of the doctor Günther Hoflehner after the first murder was the subject of the 1958 film You Confess, Dr. Corda! .
Engleder always followed the same pattern in his actions. Riding on a bicycle, he approached women and hit them on the head with a heavy hammer ( mason's hammer ) in order to then rape the seriously injured women. Between 1951 and 1957 he assaulted and raped six women in the Steyr area , with Margarete Fluch perishing on November 10, 1955 and Herta Feichtiger on June 10, 1957. When his sixth victim was attacked on June 15, 1957, he was surprised by a motorcyclist and fled. He left his bike and watch at the scene, which eventually caught him.
After a large manhunt, Engleder was found at the Czech border on June 19, 1957 by the forester Johann Hansal and handed over to the customs guard. Engleder gave "hatred of women" as the motive. He felt betrayed and betrayed by them. He divorced his first wife. He entered into the second marriage only because a child was already expected. In 1958 he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Steyr for murder in two and attempted murder in four cases, but was released on probation after 26 years and was graciously welcomed in the Schottenstift in Vienna. On April 8, 1993, he was attacked and injured with a knife in Vienna by his girlfriend, a prostitute . After 22 days he succumbed to these injuries in the hospital and was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery .
