One of the most mysterious events in German history

One of the most brutal mass killings in German history, some even call it the German version of the vendetta. This case is strange and suspenseful, people always think of it, and can't help but feel a chill behind it, this is the unsolved case of Gruber Manor. One day in November 1921, a strange thing troubled Handa, who lived in the small town of Kafit. He was a maid at the local magnate Gruber Manor. Although he had only worked on the estate for a few days, he could not bear it anyway. He offered his resignation for the simple reason that he thought Gruber's house was haunted. He had told Mr. Gruber that in these farms she would often hear footsteps or terrible screams, which made her feel particularly frightened, and after a few days, she could not sleep at all. So he didn't even want to stay here for a minute. He was about to pack his bags and leave that night, and Gruber did not keep him, but only walked with him for a while to catch the departing car. On the way, Gruber said that he had lived here for so long and had never encountered any haunted incidents, so why did this happen to the maid only a few days after he arrived? Moreover, judging from his frightened expression, it did not look like he was lying. This is incomprehensible. But it doesn't matter, soon Mr. Gruber will experience for himself everything that this clear truth says. Katsuo's departure did not have much impact on the Gruber family at first, and the winter of the year was particularly cold, and the family continued to work every day, but they did not expect that the shadow of death was approaching them step by step. First of all, it was the problem with his 17-year-old granddaughter, Cecilia Jr., whose teacher reported that the child would often sleep in class and was completely unable to concentrate. After repeated inquiries, Victoria, her mother, learned that Little Kai, Celia, would hear footsteps and whispers from the attic every night, and could not rest normally. Next, the strange things soon began to escalate, not only the whole family heard footsteps, but even the sound of people talking in the house. Once, Andreas discovered that there was a Munich newspaper in his house, which the Grubers had never subscribed to. He couldn't understand who could have silently put this thing in his room, where he had found snuffed cigarette butts. The fence outside the farm has shown signs of someone scratching, and even the keys to the family's warehouse have inexplicably disappeared, and all kinds of bizarre phenomena have made the family unable to rest. After that, an even more terrifying scene appeared. After a rare snowstorm, Mr. Gruber inspected the farm. In the thick snow, she was horrified to see a trail of footprints from the mountains to the farm. The footprint ends at the barn that leads to one's own home. The source was a clearing in the forest, and not only could he not correspond to the footprints of any family member, but the trajectory of the footprints was one-way. In other words, the people who entered the farm still haven't left here. Horrified, Gruber began a thorough search of the house and even the barn and tool shed, but still found nothing. That same night, Gruber was awakened by the terrifying sound of footsteps coming from the attic. That night, perhaps Gruber remembered the maid's words, and though he was frightened, he went to the attic to do a thorough examination. But no one was found hiding there, no one was hiding in the farm house, no footprints of the intruder had left the snow, and the man seemed to have mysteriously disappeared into the air. Soon after, on March 30, 1922, a set of keys to the house was suddenly gone, and could not be found anywhere. The location of the key is very hidden, and no one knows except Gruber. While searching for the key, Gruber noticed a slip mark on the lock in the tool shed. It was as if someone was trying to open it. On March 31, 1922, a new maid, Maria, came to work on the farm. He would never have imagined that this day would be the last day of his life. On April 4, 1922, the local postman complained to some residents that the Grubers had not received any mail for several days, so that their mailboxes were full of mail. It was then that the townspeople discovered that they had not seen the Grubers out for days, and that his granddaughter, Kecilia, had not been to school for several days. Several proofs decided to head to Gruber's estate to see what was going on. As they passed through the eerie Black Forest, they soon arrived at Gruber's house. They shouted in front of his door, but no one answered. Then the men began to explore the various houses in heavy makeup, first of all, to the stables, and the crowd went in to take a look, and were so surprised by the scene in front of them that they could not speak. Andreas Gruber, his wife, her daughter and one of her granddaughters were all lying in pools of blood. Each corpse looked like it had been slashed with an axe or force, and even some of the bodies had been dismembered, and her little granddaughter's hair seemed to have been plucked out several times by himself. Maybe her little granddaughter began to harm herself because she saw a very horrible picture, and he may be the last person to lose her breath. The group began searching elsewhere to see if there were any survivors. When they entered Gruber's house, they found his grandson Joseph the Younger and his maid Maria both lying in a pool of blood, seemingly slashed by sharps or axes. The townspeople immediately called in the police. A few hours later, investigators from the Munich Police Station arrived at the scene, and investigators performed a preliminary autopsy on the body. All of the victims were hit in the head by blunt axe-like objects and lost too much blood. What about murder weapons? It is possible to be a pickaxe. Police speculate that the killer was very familiar with the pickaxe because all the wounds were precise, hitting the victim in the head, without a single extra wound. Daughter Victoria and wife Cachilia were dressed in ordinary clothes when they died, but what about the other victims? They were all dressed in pajamas, plus their girlfriends Maria and little Joseph were killed in bed. It turns out that the murder happened at night, just while sleeping. After investigating the crime scene, the police came to the conclusion that the killer had introduced Gruber, his wife Casilla and her daughter Victoria into the barn one by one and killed them. After that? The killer entered the farmhouse and killed his grandson Joseph The Younger and his girlfriend Maria on the bed. Victoria and Kachitia may have been the first to arrive at the barn and be attacked by the killers because they were not wearing pajamas. When they went out to check, they came to Wuchang, or the murderer knocked them unconscious and took them to the barn. It is worth mentioning that all the bodies were covered with objects, the corpses piled up in the barn were covered with hay, and the corpses of the baby girls were covered with the bodies of Joseph on the sheets. Covered with his mother's skirt, the date of death was set for Friday, March 31, 1922, but neighbors near the farm questioned it, because between April 1 and April 4, they all saw smoke coming out of the pipes, and the farm's cattle and bodies were not hungry. The findings puzzled investigators, if the Andreas family died on March 31, who was inside the farm after the killer killed a few people and then stayed for a few days to feed the cattle on the farm? Why would anyone do this when the killer did not flee the scene after the murder, but stayed in the victim's home? Police began visiting local residents to learn more about the Gruber family. It is understood that Gruber is not a popular family in the local area, and the head of the family, Andreas Gruber, is a dirty old man who inherited it many years ago. The manor married Casilla, who was ten years older than herself, and gave birth to two children, but due to famine and poor care, only her daughter Victoria eventually grew up smoothly. In 1914, Victoria married a young man named Carl and gave birth to their daughter, Kecilia The Younger. Unfortunately, not long after this, Karl was killed in World War I. Victoria also had a second child, Joseph, five years later, and the remaining five became the last members of the Gruber family. There are many rumors about the Gruber family, and although most people can no longer distinguish between true and false, it is certain that the biggest feature of this family is that they are very bad at communicating with people, except for the necessary business. Gruber's family rarely intersected with other villagers, and the mischievous personality of the man, Andreas, made the family controversial among local residents. At first, the police thought it was a pure and simple robbery because The farm was very rich, but they quickly dismissed the idea. Because a large amount of gold and jewelry on the farm had not been touched, the police found that Victoria had withdrawn all the money from her bank account a few weeks earlier and left 700 marks to donate to a church, which he called missionary work, and the rest of the money was missing. After ruling out robbery and murder, the police began to suspect that it was a love killing. The suspected murderer was a man named Lorenz Wetland Tebal, who was a suitor for Victoria. Victoria had always claimed that Joseph was the son of Lorenz Schlitterbar, but since everyone in the village believed that the grandson Joseph was the product of incest between Andreas and his daughter Victoria. As a result, Lorenz Schlitterbal was furious and jealous of the matter, and the revenge for the killing may also have been Lorenz's attempt to avoid paying alimony, because she had remarried, and for her own benefit and reputation, killing also made sense. Other small details also seem to point to Lorenz Schlitterbal. First of all, Lorenz also happened to be one of the proofs of going to the new Terkafit farm to check the situation, and the dogs tied to the barn particularly disliked him and kept barking there. Moreover, one witness later said that Lorenz Schlitterbal seemed to be very calm about the bleeding corpses and was able to move them calmly through the barn without any signs of disgust. When he was asked why he moved the body before the police arrived, he said he needed to find her child. In the face of such bloody death and violence, in addition to this astonishing calm, Lorenz was to show an extraordinary familiarity with the farm, as if he had spent a great deal of time there. All of this at one point pointed to the killer, Uhlenz, Schlitterbar, but the police didn't have enough evidence to arrest him. In fact, to this day, the perpetrators of this case are still established. Because the case is so suspenseful, many people direct the matter to the idea of ghost killing. There are local rumors that this is Victoria's ex-husband Karl returning to take revenge, although the official record of Karl's death in a major war, but in fact he was only characterized by the military as a death, no body was found, or rather missing. Five years later, Hale's ghost returned to his manor, where he committed the murder and covered his dead family with clothes. Make them look like they're asleep. However, German officials are reluctant to direct the matter to supernatural theories, and only summarize the unresolved cases. Of course, there were also those who thought that it was possible that someone had entered Gruber's house and hidden before the crime, so he and the departing maid heard footsteps in the attic or some unknown sound. And he later found some individual footprints, representing more than one person who committed the crime. The bodies of the six victims in this case were buried in the same place as weedher powder, and strangely enough, in the Second World War, the cemetery was destroyed and disappeared along with these six corpses, and it was not possible to find them later. Xinte Coffee's farm was bulldozed in 1923, and the municipal government built a monument not far away for posterity to hang. In any case, this group murder of Wei Jie eventually became one of the most mysterious events in German history.
