Johann Eichhorn

Johann Eichhorn (October 8, 1906 – December 1, 1939), known as The Beast of Aubing , was a German serial killer and rapist who raped at least 90 women in Munich from 1931 to 1939, killing at least five of them. Eichhorn was convicted of these crimes and executed, but his case was suppressed by the contemporary Nazi regime, possibly due to his membership in the Nazi Party, which he had joined in 1933. After graduating from elementary school, he did an apprenticeship as a fitter and then got a job as a shunter at the Deutsche Reichsbahn. While he was considered helpful and reliable by his colleagues, Eichhorn would himself later state that he had a disturbed relationship with women, claiming that he felt no excitement when he was kissed and only began feeling pleasure when violence was involved. In 2015, Johann Eichhorn was included among the Nazi-era serial killers in a 2015 book by author Wolfgang Krüger.
