Interesting points about "creepy" Hannover. Two extras could be included. One: on the Ballhof, where you showed the Hitler Jugend Haus, when you walk to the waterfontain with the three globes and look towards the Kreuz Church, you will see the Kreuzstraße...this is the only street in entire Hannover which looks just like it did in 1944 before the city was bombed in WW II. Two: at the trial of Fritz Haarmann in 1924 for the first time in Europe a psychological Report (Gutachten) was presented as evidence. A critical essay about the trial was written by the famous Theodore Lessing. This was one of the first critial observation of a criminal case, which led to a more objective justice system in Germany.
The myth that Haarmann sold the flesh of his victims is kept alive by a song, a parody on a then well-known number from the light opera "Marietta" by Walter and Willi Kollo. While the original lyrics is about blue violets ("Veilchen") and the luck of a happy love affair coming to you the parody says that it will just be a small while ("Weilchen") that Haarmann will come to you, with his little cleaver ("Beilchen") and turn you into minced meat.
@@MYTravelBF The parody goes as such: "In Hannover an der Leine, Rote Gasse Nummer 8, wohnt der Massenmörder Haarmann, der die Menschen umgebracht. Warte, warte nur ein Weilchen, dann kommt Haarmann auch zu dir, mit dem kleinen Hackebeilchen, macht er Schabefleisch aus dir. Aus den Augen macht er Sülze, aus den Rippen schneidet er Speck, aus den Därmen macht er Würste, und verkauft den ganzen Dreck (other version:...und den Rest, den schmeißt er weg.) I have no idea what the two Kollos thought about that song that circulated like mad through the country. Hardly anybody knows about their light opera anymore, but should it be performed on stage today people will probably start giggling as soon as the familiar tune of the "Haarmann song" starts. "...warte, warte nur ein Weilchen, dann kommt auch das Glück zu dir, mit dem ersten blauen Veilchen, klopft es leis' an deine Tür...."
I did not know about the calculator!! But I know quite a bit about old Fritz...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-emQw8YJcDcg.html however spending a few days researching all that I could really made me depressed. I loved making that video but hated it at the same time
