Armin Meiwes, also known as the "Rotenburg Cannibal," is a German man who gained notoriety for his involvement in a cannibalistic murder case. Meiwes was born on December 1, 1961, in Essen, Germany.
He grew up in a troubled home, with his parents divorcing when he was just eight years old. Meiwes' father was an abusive alcoholic, and his mother struggled with mental illness, leading to a turbulent upbringing.
Meiwes struggled with his sexuality and began exploring cannibalism at a young age. In 2001, he posted an ad on a forum dedicated to cannibalism, looking for someone willing to be eaten. Bernd Brandes, a 43-year-old engineer, responded to the ad, and the two men agreed to meet.
On March 9, 2001, Meiwes and Brandes met at Meiwes' home in Rotenburg, Germany. Brandes had brought a signed agreement stating that he wanted to be killed and eaten.
The two men engaged in sexual activity before Meiwes killed Brandes by stabbing him in the neck. Meiwes then proceeded to dismember and eat parts of Brandes' body over the course of several months.
Meiwes was eventually caught when police discovered his online messages and raided his home in December 2002. He was arrested and charged with murder and disturbing the peace of the dead.
During his trial, Meiwes admitted to the killing but argued that it was consensual, stating that Brandes had wanted to be eaten. He also claimed that he had only acted on his sexual desires and that he had no intention of killing anyone who did not want to be killed.

The trial gained international attention and sparked a debate over whether or not Meiwes' actions were a result of mental illness or simply a fetish. In the end, Meiwes was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The court also ordered him to undergo psychiatric treatment.
The Meiwes case remains one of the most infamous examples of cannibalism in recent history. It has sparked discussions on the nature of consent, the limits of sexual desires, and the ethical implications of fetishism.
Meiwes' actions have been widely condemned, with many arguing that they represent a severe violation of human dignity and basic moral standards.
