Publisher: Bolinda Audio, 2017

A woman is brutally murdered and buried in the woods. Suspicion falls on her husband – the former mayor of a small town south of Berlin. They had been married almost 50 years and were considered the perfect couple.

Award-winning journalist Anja Reich-Osang covered the trial. She spoke with relatives and friends of the victim and the accused – and with the former mayor himself, who denies his guilt to this day. But there is more to this story than the question of innocence or guilt. The Scholl Case is about a marriage, about a small town, about sex and politics. It is a psychological profile of a man driven to succeed – a man who started with nothing, conquered the world, and then lost all he had gained.
