Friedrich Wilhelm Voigt was born in Tilsit on February
13th, 1849. He attends the three class school there and later a few
years the high school. Voigt becomes criminal the first time in the age
of almost 14 years: the district court Tilsit sentences him 1863 because
of theft to 14 days in prison.
Because of his previous conviction Voigt must leave the school. He
learns the shoemaker trade from his father. In the years from 1864 to
1891 Voigt is further sentenced six times because of theft and
falsification of documents. He altogether spends more than 29 years for
it behind bars. Finally he is 15 years in the penitentiary because of
serious theft.
On February 12th, 1906 he is free again. At first he goes to Wismar, is
expelled, however, from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Over
Marienburg, Graudenz and some other intermediate stops Voigt finally
comes to Rixdorf at Berlin and can find accommodation in the Kopfstreet
27 with his sister.
On August 24th, 1906 Voigt is identified by the chief of police of
Rixdorf once more as "a person dangerous for the public safety and
morality". On September 1st, 1906 he leaves Rixdorf officially in
the direction of Hamburg , however, he actually lives in Berlin O17,
Langestreet 22, as a not reported lodger. |
