Werner Pinzner
German hired killer (1947–1986)
Summary
Werner Pinzner, also called "Mucki", was a German contract killer who became known as the "St. Pauli Killer". In 1986, he was responsible for a series of contract killings and gained nationwide attention when, during interrogation at the Hamburg police headquarters, he fatally shot the investigating public prosecutor, his own wife, and himself. The case had political consequences in the city of Hamburg and is considered one of the most "spectacular" cases in the criminal history of the Federal Republic of Germany. Pinzner is also believed to have killed between seven and ten people before the Hamburg police headquarters incident.
