Approx. 1900, photo for the municipal archives / from left to right Mayor Georg Greger, Viktoria Gruber (approx. 13) with her father Andreas Gruber (approx 42).

Viktoria Gruber in Father's House Slippers and Andreas Gruber

Viktoria Gruber (approx. 13 years old) in one of the few moments in her life when she did not have to fear her father

Andreas Gruber (approx. 42 years old) - The violent and tyrannical head of the family.

True to original replica of the main murder weapon (mattock) / the screw protruded on both sides, not only on one side as previously assumed / killing with the screw required practice and precise handling

The murderer deliberately chose the protruding screw to kill

An out-of-town perpetrator would have used the blade of the mattock to kill and not the barely visible screw

This slaughterer kills the pigs with a tool similar to a mattock / here, the pigs were first knocked unconscious and then killed by the spike (see upper end of the tool)

Original photograph of the crime scene in 1922 / on 04.04.1922 Schlittenbauer and his neighbours discovered the bodies of Gruber Andreas, Viktoria Gabriel and his wife Cäzilia Gruber (not shown in the picture, the dead Cili Gabriel (8))

Josef, who was only three years old, was brutally beaten to death in this pram

The maid Maria Baumgartner, who arrived on the evening of 31.03.1922, was beaten to death in her chamber shortly after her arrival

(Replica) Only an insider could know that there would be an ingenious hiding place for the mattock in the false floor above the kitchen

(Replica) If Hinterkaifecker farm had not been demolished, the murder weapon would never have been found

The Hinterkaifeck farm a few days after the murder

The yellow Spitz, the dog on Hinterkaifeck, was known as a very alert watchdog

Detective superintendent Georg Reingruber took a completely wrong turn with his 6-fold robbery-murder theory

None other than Lorenz Schlittenbauer had reason to express his frustration towards Andreas Gruber in this death photo

The good-natured Lorenz Schlittenbauer came under suspicion of having slain the Hinterkaifeckers all his life because of his great helpfulness

Jakob Siegl suspected the local leader Lorenz Schlittenbauer, as he was behaving in an unusually conspicuous manner when the body was found

Behind this cemetery wall, the five victims and their murderer lie in the same grave to this day (see black obelisk on the right edge of the picture)

Albert Hofner repaired the engine on Hinterkaifeck on 4. of April 1922. Since no one was on the farm and animals were roaring loudly, he informed the local leader Lorenz Schlittenbauer to check on Hinterkaifeck

Josef Mayer always brought the mail to Hinterkaifeck

Pastor Haas knew the secret of Lorenz Schlittenbauer

Viktoria married Karl Gabriel (approx. 25 years old) to hide the fact that she was expecting a child from her father (Karl Gabriel was killed on 12.12.1914 during World War I).
