Ein Moment der Stille am Grab von Ed Gein

Leaving a decisive imprint on popular culture to this day, the bizarre case of Ed Gein shocked the American nation at the end of the 50’s. Films such as PSYCHO and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS are based on the acts perpetrated by the tomb raider with the oedipal complex. In July 2012, Jörg Buttgereit visited the scene of the crime, i.e. the cemetery of Plainfield in Wisconsin. The body of Ed Gein rests at an unmarked place between his beloved mother Augusta and his brother Henry.

Please be aware that the 1 a.m. screening at the Gartenbaukino will take place in the night between November 3 and 4.
