The Identity of a Famous Criminal

September/October 2025

|

Popular Mechanics US

NOTORIOUS FOR BLACKMAIL, extortion, and even murder, Johannes Bückler—also known as Schinderhannes—was one of the most infamous criminals in all of Germany during the late 18th century. He was responsible for more than 200 offenses during his reign of terror.

- Emma Frederickson

His life of crime came to a halt in 1803, when he was sentenced to death. The delinquent—along with colleague Schwarzer Jonas (Black Jonas)—was executed by guillotine.
