Yesterday I saw three tourists in Barcelona dressing in very unconventional ways. It was difficult not to look at them. One of them was wearing a yellow green t-shirt with number 79 or 78. And above the number there was the name of the supposed player …: JOSEF FRITZL.

Searching through Internet I just saw a question in Yahoo Questions about Josef Fritzl t-shirts.

WWW.WHISKYNS.COM

As so many people are visiting these days joseffritzl.com I want to thank you for by letting you listen to a song from the Whiskyn’s, a Catalan group from a city near Riudoms, the city of Gaudí … They sang for 17 years and 2009 will be its good-bye. Joan Masdéu is the only one of the founders left.

This post has no connection at all with Josef Fritzl. It is a happy song, far from the nightmare of Josef Fritzl case. Another world is possible …

I do not like much to come back to this blog again but I imagine that having such a domain is the least I could do. Let me tell you that your comments are welcome. I begin with a video:

I would like to put here to links to web  around the world in different languages with news around the world. Meanwhile I am going to do something and in some minutes you may have more her …

Dear Visitor from Paris, London, New York, Buenos Aires, Sydney or Tokyo

Yesterday www.josefritzl.com received about 1000 visits and all the news around the world are talking about Josef Fritzl. I just registered this domain when for most people only the name Fritzl was given. I saw somewhere Josef so I immediately registered this domain. During the months after the Fritzl case erupted I used to write about the case but at one point I felt sick. So I still have this domain with the name of one of the most famous people from Europe. Maybe this domain could be a place to put together information about the Fritzl case. But furthermore, I think that the good thing is that this website not only explains things about the Josef Fritzl case. I think the best would be to try to prevent other cases like the Josef Fritzl case. I wonder if there is any organization on the world that could assume that task and use this website for the benefit of mankind.

Hello! For some months www.joseffritzl.com has not been redirecting to this blog as I dislike all related to the Fritzl case. Neverhteless, as Josef Fritzl is again on the news I put again the domain redirecting to this website so it comes live again. I hope you find this a good place to leave your comments about this case.

Fritzl als Welt-Skandal

INZESTDRAMA / Staatsanwaltschaft St. Pölten ist nach wie vor mit Medienanfragen aus aller Welt konfrontiert. Gericht erwartet Medienansturm beim Prozess gegen Josef Fritzl.
VON SONJA PLANITZER

Er gilt jetzt schon als der Kriminalfall des Jahrhunderts: das Inzestdrama um Josef Fritzl. Inzwischen gibt es dazu nicht nur eigene Homepages (z. B. www.joseffritzl.com), auch auf der Internet-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia ist der Fall in nahezu allen Weltsprachen – von Deutsch (,,Der Kriminalfall von Amstetten“) über Englisch („The Fritzl case“) und Arabisch bis zu Japanisch, Russisch und Französisch („Affaire Fritzl“) – vertreten.
In der Weltpresse wird über den Fall nach wie vor intensiv berichtet. Und nicht immer wird es da mit der Wahrheit sehr genau genommen. So schrieb die britische Boulevardzeitung „Sun“ in der Vorwoche beispielsweise: „Fritzl: „Mama nannte mich Satan“.

„Ich habe die Berichterstattung nicht genau verfolgt, aber manchmal bin ich von Journalisten gefragt worden, ob das stimmt, was da in der englischen oder deutschen Presse steht“, sagt Gerhard Sedlacek, Sprecher der Staatsanwaltschaft St. Pölten. Als der Fall Fritzl Ende April bekannt geworden war, war der Staatsanwalt nahezu rund um die Uhr mit Medienanfragen aus aller Welt konfrontiert. „Anfangs haben wir zu zweit, der Leiter der Staatsanwaltschaft, Peter Ficenc, und ich, die Medienanfragen beantwortet. Wenn man ein Telefonat beendet hatte, läutete es schon wieder. Man hätte rund um die Uhr arbeiten können“, so Gerhard Sedlacek.

Fall Fritzl und das „Nazi-Gedankengut“
Einen Medienansturm erlebte auch Oberst Franz Polzer, Leiter des NÖ Kriminalamts. Er wurde nicht nur haufenweise mit Interviewanfragen konfrontiert, sondern auch mit teilweise „eigenwilligen Vorurteilen und seltsamen Gedanken der Journalisten“. Polzer: „Dass in manchen Medien aus dem Fall nationalsozialistisches Gedankengut Österreichs gelesen wurde, das hat weh getan.“ Und: „Die österreichische Medienlandschaft ist auch fordernder geworden, aber die Qualität der österreichischen Medien ist mir angenehm.“
Und wie geht es im Fall Fritzl jetzt weiter? Die Anklageschrift wird, laut Staatsanwaltschaft, frühestens am 14. November vorgelegt. Offen ist, wann es zum Prozess gegen Fritzl kommt.

Josef Fritzl, the Austrian accused of raping and imprisoning his daughter, kept his ailing mother locked in an attic room with bricked-up windows until her death, according to leaked court reports.

The Austrian newspapers Kronen Zeitung and Österreich have published accounts of Fritzl’s interviews with a forensic psychiatrist in which he says he incarcerated his mother – who he blames for his actions – in the attic of her own house shortly before he locked up his daughter.

The retired engineer and property developer said it was revenge for the abuse he claims she inflicted upon him.

Fritzl’s mother died in 1980. By then, Fritzl had begun building the concrete dungeon that would imprison his daughter, Elisabeth.

Fritzl is awaiting trial for raping and incarcerating Elisabeth for 24 years in a purpose-built prison beneath his home in the town of Amstetten. He faces charges of sexual abuse, incest, coercion and manslaughter.

He fathered seven children with Elisabeth, now 42, during her years of captivity. One of the children, a baby boy called Michael, died shortly after birth and it is alleged Fritzl disposed of the body in an incinerator.

The confessions were made to Dr Adelheid Kastner, an Austrian prison psychiatrist who is assessing the 73-year-old’s mental state during six in-depth sessions before Fritzl’s trial, which is expected to start in January.

This week, Austrian newspapers reported Fritzl describing how his abusive relationship with his mother fed his life as a rapist.

“She never showed me any love, she beat me and kicked me until I was on the floor and bleeding,” he said. “I felt so weak and humiliated. I never got a kiss from her or even a hug although I tried very hard to please her. The only thing she did with me was go to church.

“She beat me and kicked me until I was lying on the floor bleeding. I had a horrible fear from her. She kept insulting me and told me I was a Satan, a criminal, a no-good.”

Reports revealed that Fritzl’s mother raised him alone after a bitter divorce. Fritzl claims he was isolated from other children and was an “alibi child”– his mother only had him to prove to her husband she was not sterile.

According to Fritzl, he moved into the Amstetten house in 1959 soon after he married his wife, Rosmarie. His mother moved into the house with them and Kastner was told how their roles gradually reversed with Fritzl’s mother coming to fear her son.

It is unknown how long his mother was kept in a room without daylight, but Austrian newspapers speculate it could have been for up to 20 years.

In the leaked confidential report, the psychiatrist declared Fritzl as sane and fit for trial despite suffering from a “severe combined personality disorder” and “a sexual disorder”.

In the first of the leaked accounts in Austrian newspapers, Fritzl said: “I have realised that I had a mean streak. For someone who was born to be a rapist, I have managed to contain myself for a relatively long period.”

He allegedly hatched his plan to incarcerate his daughter, Elisabeth, while he was in prison for rape.

In 1967 he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for brutally raping a 24-year-old woman at knifepoint in her home.

Kastner writes that Fritzl devised the “ideal solution” to his deranged fantasies after he was released from prison. He decided to lock up his daughter in the cellar so that he could “live out” his “evil side” while leading a seemingly normal life in the flat upstairs.

Kastner came to the conclusion when dissecting the personality of Fritzl that the electrician managed to distance himself from what he was doing by never looking his victim in the face when he raped her.

“He was not only incredibly able to lead a double life but also managed to maintain a triple life without any problems,” she wrote, indicating that Fritzl played down the gravity of his crimes in his mind.

“Mr Fritzl resembles a volcano: under the surface that appears almost banal there is an evil streak. He is torn apart by his desires that he cannot master.”

Three children aged 12 to 15 whom Fritzl fathered with Elisabeth lived in the large upstairs apartment with him and his wife, Rosemarie, 69. Their other three siblings, aged five to 19, were kept in the cellar with their mother, never seeing the light of day until they were freed by police on April 26 this year.

Fritzl believed himself to be a good father to his incestuous family, he told the psychiatrist, and took them games and celebrated birthdays and Christmas with them.

It is believed Fritzl will try to use his claims of his own alleged childhood abuse to explain his actions towards his daughter.

Kastner concluded in her report that Fritzl was cold-blooded and calculating.

“His narcissism combines with the lack of empathy and contributes to the exploitative way of turning others into instruments of satisfying his own needs. There is also a noticeable ability or tendency to ‘modify’ reality according to his own wishes,” she wrote.

Fritzl says he was ‘born to rape’

Fritzl has been in custody since the case came to light in April The Austrian father who allegedly imprisoned and abused his daughter for 24 years has said he was “born to rape”, according to a leaked report. The report by psychiatrist Adelheid Kastner says Joseph Fritzl’s mother humiliated him in childhood, creating his need to “possess a human being”. Mr Fritzl said he had an “evil streak” and that he “could have behaved a lot worse than locking up my daughter”. Mr Fritzl fathered seven children with his daughter in a cellar he built. Dr Kastner says in her 130-page report that Mr Fritzl is fit for trial and would be “highly” likely to reoffend if he had the opportunity. A trial could begin in the next few months. Mr Fritzl has been in custody since the case came to light in April. ‘Volcano’ Dr Kastner’s report has been submitted to the prosecutor’s office but was leaked to the Austrian media. In the report, Mr Fritzl, 73, tells the psychiatrist: “I was born to rape and I held myself back for a relatively long time.” Fritzl, here as a 16-year-old in 1951, spoke of humiliations as a child Dr Kastner says Mr Fritzl spoke of humiliating and unprovoked attacks by his mother in childhood. “His childhood made him susceptible to an emotional handicap,” she writes, creating the need for him “to possess an entire human being”. The report says Mr Fritzl believed incarcerating his daughter, Elisabeth, meant he would have someone “just for me”. He believed having children with her would mean she would have to stay with him as she would “no longer hold any attraction for other men”. Mr Fritzl speaks of himself as a “volcano” who has a “flood of destructive lava that was barely controllable”. Prosecutors say Mr Fritzl has confessed to keeping Elisabeth captive in a cell at his home in Amstetten, west of Vienna. DNA tests have shown he is the father of six of Elisabeth’s children – a seventh child is believed to have died shortly after birth. Elisabeth, 42, her six children and her mother Rosemarie have been undergoing psychiatric treatment and are thought to be at a secret location learning to resume a normal existence. The case first came to light in April after 19-year-old Kerstin, one of the children fathered by Mr Fritzl, became seriously ill and was taken to hospital.
