Шаблон:Infobox serial killer Beate Schmidt (born Wolfgang Schmidt on 5 October 1966) is a German serial killer. From October 1989 to April 1991, Schmidt, a transgender woman, murdered five women and an infant.

Early life

Schmidt was born Wolfgang Schmidt on 5 October 1966 in Lehnin, Brandenburg.

Murders

Schmidt murdered five women and a three month old baby:

  • Edeltraut Nixdorf, 51, killed on 24 October 1989.[1]
  • Christa Naujoks, 45, raped and strangled to death on 24 May 1990.[1]
  • Inge Fischer, 34, raped and stabbed to death on 13 March 1991 in Beelitz.[1]
  • Tamara Petrowskaja, 44, strangled to death on 22 March 1991. Schmidt struck her son against a tree stump.[1][2]
  • Talita Bremer, 66, strangled to death on 5 April 1991 and her corpse was raped.[1]

The nickname the Pink Giant came from both the killer's size and alleged penchant for pink lingerie.[3] The area where some of the crimes took place led to a second and third moniker, the "Beast of Beelitz" and "Beelitz-Murderer".[3][4]

On 1 August 1991 Schmidt was arrested after two men found Schmidt masturbating while wearing a bra under a jacket. Schmidt was sentenced to 15 years in prison and detention in a psychiatric hospital[4] in Brandenburg an der Havel.[5]

21st century

An application for a name change to Beate Schmidt was met by the court in 2001.[5] Since 2009 Schmidt has undergone a hormone treatment for gender reassignment.[5] In 2010, Schmidt was investigated for raping and causing another transgender inmate to attempt suicide.[6]
