#schinderhannes — Public Fediverse posts

looking into the #FamilyHistory info available around the infamous robber #Schinderhannes, I realised there isn't a comprehensive list of the victims and witnesses of his crimes, so I started one: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/05/robbed-by-schinderhannes.html #germany #history #realCrime #genealogy #Hunsrück

on the occasion of the identification of the #Schinderhannes skeleton, I've rounded up his #familyTree. No obvious connection, although several familiar places. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/04/a-robbers-family.html #familyHistory #genome #science #forensics

the #schinderhannes paper is on open access and includes the #genealogy linking him to an (unidentified) living person who provided the DNA sample to confirm identification. There is no known link to my #familyHistory, but it's geographically very close so it's worth digging into this.

A 220-year-old mystery surrounding the remains of infamous German outlaw Johannes Bückler, known as #Schinderhannes, has at last been solved. An international research team used cutting-edge #forensic techniques to confirm that a skeleton long thought to be that of another criminal, “Schwarzer Jonas” (Black Jonas), is in fact Schinderhannes. The true destiny of Schwarzer Jonas’ remains remains a secret.

@ascentale @MartyCormack #BikeNite A4: In Germany this happened to many former railroad tracks shut down during the late 60s or 70s.

I know of at least 2 websites covering them (and also some outside Germany):
