Jack the Ripper Tour in Dortmund

Step into the shadowy world of Victorian London's most infamous unsolved mystery. This immersive event in Dortmund explores the 1888 Whitechapel murders attributed to Jack the Ripper, drawing on historical research, folklore, and pseudohistory that have captured public imagination for over a century.

Attendees can expect a deep dive into the canonical five victims—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—whose brutal murders between August and November 1888 remain unsolved. The event examines the social context of Whitechapel's overcrowded slums, where poverty, prostitution, and antisemitism fueled public perceptions of immorality.

Through detailed accounts of the killer's modus operandi—throat slashing, abdominal mutilation, and organ removal—and the infamous "Dear Boss" and "From Hell" letters, this event offers a gripping look at how a single unidentified serial killer became a global legend.
