Vera Brühne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vera Brühne (February 6, 1910 in Essen – April 17, 2001 in Munich) became famous throughout Germany as a victim of miscarriage of justice. In 1961/62, she was convicted, together with Johann Ferbach, of having murdered the physician Otto Praun and his lover.

Ulrich Sonnemann considered the case as a new Dreyfus affair.[1] In 1979, she was pardoned by Bavarian governor Franz Josef Strauss.[2]
