Austrian Kurpfuscher (75) also castrated users of online forums

Date:

A 75-year-old has been on trial since Thursday for castrating men in Germany without any medical training. The defendant remained silent at the start of the proceedings at the regional court in Erfurt, the capital of the state of Thuringia.

The pensioner is accused of carrying out surgical procedures in his living room in Sömmerda on eight occasions between 2015 and 2019 – for pay and without medical training. He is said to have offered his services on forums on the internet. The victims are said to have paid between 500 and 2,200 euros for the interventions. To protect the privacy of the injured, the public was excluded from the reading of the charges. The investigators tracked him down after a tip from colleagues from Erdingen, who were also investigating castrations of a man from Bavaria in another case.

Data carriers and dirty surgical instruments secured
An officer from the Erfurt criminal police testified on the witness stand that numerous data carriers were seized during a search of the 75-year-old’s apartment. The official also spoke of vast amounts of chat history.

In addition, surgical utensils were seized, such as a kidney cup with scissors and tweezers containing blood from several people, as well as chloroform and a tube for tying. The procedures were performed on the couch in the living room. The officer described the apartment as dirty and unsanitary.

Researchers opened a “door to another world”.
The official reported on a victim from Austria who had large-scale interventions carried out and reported significant complications in chats afterwards. The Public Prosecution Service assumes that the men involved voluntarily agreed to this.

The officer saw an accumulation of motives for the castrations among both the suspect and the injured parties. According to him, this included not only sexual and financial interests, but also life without power and fantasies. A chief detective from Erdingen, who was interviewed as a witness, said that during the investigation on the Internet they came across a “cutter from Erfurt” and a “Thuringian 47” with a photo of the whole body. During the research, “a door to another world” opened for her.

In December 2021, a then 67-year-old electrician was sentenced by the Munich II Regional Court to more than eight years in prison for serious, dangerous and simple bodily harm. He had admitted offering “castrations” on online sadistic forums. Several men paid him money to torture them and remove their testicles, for example. One of the men died after the procedure; the court could no longer determine why.

The suspect in Erfurt is accused, among other things, of serious bodily harm. If convicted, you face a prison sentence of three to 15 years.
