Die Zärtlichkeit der Wölfe

BR Deutschland 1972/1973 Spielfilm

Tenderness of the Wolves

Director Ulli Lommel based his film on the real-life case of the infamous murderer Haarman, yet transplanted the story from 1920s Berlin to post-war Bochum.

Being arrested, petty gangster Fritz Haarmann, a former butcher, is forced to work as a snitch. Little does the police know that the unassuming Haarman is in fact the serial killer they have been desperately trying to catch.
