Bavarian stage and television actor Walter Sedlmayr was found tied up, stabbed, and beaten to death in his Munich apartment in July 1990; two half-brothers and former business associates were convicted of his murder in 1993 and later became central figures in a legal dispute over privacy and internet name removal.
COLDListenOktoberfest Grounds (Theresienwiese), Munich · 1980
On 26 September 1980, a bomb hidden in a rubbish bin exploded at the main entrance to Munich's Oktoberfest, killing 13 people — including the person responsible, geology student Gundolf Köhler — and injuring more than 200. West German authorities closed the case in 1982 as a personally motivated, lone-actor attack; a federal investigation reopened from 2014 to 2020 revised the motive to right-wing extremism but could not prove or rule out that Köhler had accomplices.
