(Disturbing Photos Alert) I was wondering if these photos from Armin Meiwes's cannibal video are real. Posted by 2 years ago. The grisly event was found recorded in its entirety on a two-hour videotape found in Meiwes' camera upon his arrest in December of 2002 (having been reported to the authorities by a fellow member of The Cannibal Cafe, where Meiwes had previously revealed, in explicit detail, the goings-on between Brandes and himself, even advertising for a follow-up victim). Simply starving: Cannibal Armin Meiwes and his voluntary victim The Internet has done a great many things, but it’s also been a part of a great many crimes over the years. We’ve all heard of the Craigslist Killer for example or the “ Cannibal Cop ”, who was convicted based on what he said online without doing the thing. After placing his penis on a kitchen table, computer expert Bernd-Jergen Brandes issued that unthinkable command to German cannibal Armin Meiwes. A home video made by Meiwes, 42, detailed the. Murderer Armin Meiwes, 58, has been leaving prisons for day trips in Germany He was given sunglasses and a hat to protect his identity before walking around In March 2001 Meiwes stabbed Bernd.

- The community described him as helpful, sweet, and charming; the press eventually labeled Armin Meiwes as the Monster of Rotenburg.
- Meiwes received more than 200 volunteers to respond to his ad about finding someone to eat. Brandes, who was eventually picked out, responded to the ad with an email saying: “I am your meat.”
Those who personally knew Armin Meiwes would never have believed that the helpful, sweet, and charming man would eventually turn out to be labeled the Monster of Rotenburg. Meiwes, a 42-year-old computer expert, had a high reputation around his neighborhood. When he was not working, Meiwes would spend his time assisting his community friends with car repairs and landscaping needs. He would even invite his friendly neighbors over dinner parties. Overall, Meiwes was considered the perfect neighbor, or so everyone thought!
'Someone to eat...'

Little did Meiwes' neighbors know that their local friendly handyman had some very dark secrets of his own. Armin Meiwes had a taste for human flesh, and his trial went down as one of the most extraordinary trials in German history. In February of 2001, Meiwes posted an ad on the internet looking for a “young, well-built man that wanted to be eaten”. Believe it or not, many men replied to the ad. Meiwes went through many of the candidates, and either decided that the candidates were not the right fit or the candidates themselves decided to back out. After many failed attempts of finding the right candidate, Meiwes finally received a message from a man named Bernd Brandes.

Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, a 36-year-old computer engineer from Berlin, had always dreamt of being eaten. Suffering from abandonment issues and depression, Brandes thought he would be the perfect fit for Meiwes' flesh-eating fantasy. Both Brandes and Meiwes exchanged emails for about a month straight before they finally agreed to meet up. On March, 9th, 2001, Brandes went to Meiwes' farmhouse and was taken up to the master bedroom where they sat around and chatted. Wanting to get on with his big fantasy, Meiwes fed Brandes sleeping pills and told him to wash them down with some Schnapps and liquid cold medicine.
'I had a fantasy, and, in the end, I fulfilled it'
– Armin Meiwes
Once Brandes started to feel the effects of the drugs and liquor consumed, Meiwes set up a video camera and began to record the horrendous acts that were about to take place. Meiwes started by sexually mutilating Brandes. He first cut off his penis. While Brandes was still conscious, he asked if he could taste his very own flesh. Following Brandes request, Meiwes broiled the penis and tried to feed it to Brandes. Brandes complained that the penis was too tough to eat.
After trying to eat his own penis, Brandes requested a bath. Meiwes set up a warm bath for Brandes and left him to soak overnight. Come the next morning, Meiwes entered the bathroom and slit Brandes' throat. He then cut his body into several small pieces. With the video still capturing all of this, Meiwes then pan-broiled the flesh, set the table, and poured himself a large glass of red wine to go with his meal. He then began to eat the human cuisine that he prepared for himself. Once his stomach was fulfilled, he packaged the leftovers and hit the keyboard in hopes of looking for another victim.
'Yes, people who can't think their way into this find it monstrous. But in principle I'm a normal human being'
– Armin Meiwes
An online friend of Meiwes found his flesh-eating online confessions disturbing and contacted the authorities. Once authorities began their investigation, Meiwes already confessed to what he had done. By the time he was caught, Meiwes had already consumed over 45 pounds of Brandes' human flesh. Following his confession, Meiwes told the authorities that Brandes tasted exactly like pork.
Consensual Homicide?
In Germany, there are no laws against cannibalism. Because of this, Meiwes was initially only given an 8.5-year sentence. The judge ruled that Brandes had given consent and that both Brandes and Meiwes were just merely disturbed individuals. Lawyers considered this murder to be a mercy killing. In 2007, Meiwes was sent in for a re-trial, where he received a life sentence.
He is currently still locked away and has become a vegetarian.
Police estimate that around 10,000 people in Germany alone share Meiwes' fascination with cannibalism – either eating human flesh or being eaten.

Armin Meiwes Video
'Mein Teil' (German for 'My part' or 'My share', slang for 'My penis') is a song by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. It was released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Reise, Reise (2004), on 26 July 2004. 'Mein Teil' attracted controversy in Germany; the media dubbed it 'Das Kannibalenlied' ('The Cannibal-Song') due to its lyrics referring to the Armin Meiwes cannibalism case, which helped to boost it to second place in the German music charts after its release in early August 2004. It was also a number-one hit in Spain. Remixes of the song were done by Arthur Baker and Pet Shop Boys. 'Mein Teil' was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 48th Grammy Awards but lost to Slipknot's 'Before I Forget'.[1]
Background and composition[edit]
The song is inspired by the case of Armin Meiwes and Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes. In March 2001, in Rotenburg an der Fulda, the two men aged in their 40s met each other, cut off and cooked Brandes' penis and consumed it together. Afterwards, Meiwes killed Brandes — with Brandes' permission — and ate his remains. As a result, Meiwes was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in jail for manslaughter, but was later charged with murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. According to bassist Oliver 'Ollie' Riedel, the song came about after 'one of our members brought a newspaper to rehearsal and it had a story about the cannibal guy in it. We were fascinated, shocked and amused at the same time'. Vocalist Till Lindemann stated, 'It is so sick that it becomes fascinating and there just has to be a song about it'.[2] A prominent phrase in the song is '... denn du bist, was du isst, und ihr wisst, was es ist' ('Because you are what you eat, and you (pl.) know what it is').
Music video[edit]
The video for 'Mein Teil' was directed by Zoran Bihac. It shows Christoph 'Doom' Schneider being cross-dressed as Armin Meiwes's mother, Till receiving oral sex by an angel (played by Luciana Regina) before he eats her wings and kills her; 'Flake' performing ballet in a hallucinatory state; Paul shaking, screaming violently and wandering around the set in a frantic and crazed state; Richard violently fighting with his doppelgänger; Ollie writhing on the floor in painful spasms with his skin covered in white powder; the band fighting in a mudpit; and five of the band members, while behaving like dogs, crawling out of the Deutsche Oper U-Bahn (subway) station while held on leashes carried by 'Doom'. At the beginning of the song in the video, the phrase 'Suche gut gebauten Achtzehn- bis Dreißigjährigen zum Schlachten – Der Metzgermeister' ('Looking for a well built 18-year-old to 30-year-old to slaughter – The Master Butcher') is spoken, voiced by Ollie, although the album version of the song does not have this beginning. The quote is taken from an online post by Armin Meiwes. The controversy over 'Mein Teil' prompted MTV Germany to restrict the airing of the music video to after 11 PM.
Live performances[edit]
It debuted in three consecutive concerts for members of the fan club, in October 2004. This song is one of the most notable live performances of the 2004–2005 Reise, Reise tour. From the central backstage access, Till Lindemann appears pulling a giant cooking pot. He is dressed as a blood-stained chef holding a microphone with a large, real cooking knife attached to the end. Keyboardist Christian 'Flake' Lorenz appears in the pot, with metal cylinders attached to his arms and legs, and plays the keyboard during the song. After the second chorus, Till takes a flamethrower and roasts the bottom of the pot, 'cooking' Flake. Flake escapes from the pot and starts running around the stage with flames erupting from his arms and legs, while chased by a knife-wielding Till.
When Flake was asked about what it is like to perform this, he said: 'It is fine. It is only pain. Although one can not breathe in, because then one would inhale the flames and die'. Due to all of the theatrical performance, the song usually extended to 6 or 7 minutes when played live. It was played at every concert of the Ahoi Tour, but was dropped on the Liebe ist für alle da Tour, a move which irritated many fans. However, it returned to playlist for the Latin American leg of the tour in 2010, the Auckland and Perth legs of the Big Day Out festival and the South African leg of the tour in 2011, all replacing 'Ich tu dir weh' except on the Brazllian leg of the South America tour, where both songs were played'. The song has since returned to the playlist of the Made in Germany 1995–2011 concert tour. They dropped the live performance again in 2016, until 2019, when it was included in the setlist for their Europe Stadium Tour.
