Trivia

Haferkamp was almost two meters tall and had an impressive, muscular, massive body. This together with his dominant and Rhineland-funny-loud appearance could provide funny and witty entertainment for entire societies. In his subordinates, however, he mostly did not arouse positive feelings, but rather fear and horror. That's why they nicknamed him " Malignant Lymphoma ".
