When pathology becomes the crime scene

On October 31, 2026, Alfred Riepertinger leads into a world of forensics, criminal cases, and medical memory culture at the Institute of Pathology of Klinikum Schwabing. The Halloween special event combines a true crime lecture with a tour of previously inaccessible areas and special insights into the autopsy room.

True Crime with forensic depth

The focus is on criminal cases, perpetrator investigations, cold cases, and the scientific work of forensics. Alfred Riepertinger makes complex connections understandable and opens a view of the intersections of pathology, criminalistics, and modern medicine. The event does not rely on loud effects, but on a respectful atmosphere, factual context, and the special impact of an authentic setting.

Tour of an unusual learning location

After the lecture, the tour leads to previously inaccessible areas, including the former collection and casket room for funeral directors. Subsequently, the autopsy room becomes a place of an intense encounter with forensic history. Selected specimens and plastinates related to the topic of true crime will be shown, including examples of bullet pathways and blunt violence.

Q&A session, teaching collection, and special memories

A Q&A session offers the opportunity to submit questions anonymously to the body preparator. Afterwards, the Siegfried Oberndorfer teaching collection can be viewed. The ticket also includes a refreshment, small souvenirs, and a donation of five euros to the WEISSEN RING, which supports victims of crime.
