Bruno Fabeyer from Osnabrück was one of the most wanted criminals in Germany in 1966/67. After the serial burglar shot a resident of the house, who had been a paraplegic ever since, one of the most spectacular manhunts of the postwar era began. It intensified after Fabeyer killed a popular police officer while fleeing. For months he hid in the forest, hunted like an animal. Historian and journalist Christof Haverkamp will read from his biography of the “forest man” and “cop killer” Fabeyer on Wednesday, August 16.
