Alois Irlmaier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alois Irlmaier (born June 8, 1894 in Scharam near Siegsdorf in Upper Bavaria ; † July 26, 1959 in Freilassing ) was a well builder by profession and was known as a dowser and clairvoyant .

Irlmaier is credited with predicting the locations of bombings and the whereabouts of missing persons during World War II . He is also said to have helped solve crimes.

Life

The farmer's son Irlmaier was a soldier from 1914 to 1916 during the First World War . In 1920 he married Maria Schießlinger and raised four children with her, one of whom was a foster son. In the year of his wedding, he took over his father's farm. In 1928 he started to work as an independent well builder. This year he also experienced his first “visionary visions”. From 1939 onwards, Alois Irlmaier received more and more visitors from people who had heard of his vision and asked for advice and information. He built a small hut for himself to use his visionary skills there, as so many people asked for advice at the weekend and stood in line on his property. This service was free and voluntary.

In 1947, Irlmaier, who at that time had 15 previous convictions - seven times for fraud and eight times for payment difficulties - was reported by a pastor to the district court in Laufen for fraud and juggling ; According to the Bavarian Police Criminal Code, this was a criminal offense until 1957. During the trial, two witnesses testified that they did not believe Irlmaier's contradicting prophecies from the outset. Five other witnesses testified that Irlmaier's interpretation was correct. A conviction for fraud was therefore ruled out. The court also acquitted Irlmaier of the allegation of juggling, as this could not be determined with the necessary certainty. Irlmaier's appearance also gives no indication of this: “In the present case, the court is unable to make a clear statement that the accused is a juggler. Conversely, this does not mean that the accused's visions ... actually sprang from a visual gift. "

Irlmaier died of liver cancer in 1959.
