The case of Rosemarie Nitribitt – Death of a Whore

It´s the most spectacular German criminal case of the post-war era: the murder of the Frankfurt high-end call girl Rosemarie “Rebecca” Nitribitt. Her trademarks are a black Mercedes, large pot hats, fur coats, mink stoles and a poodle. In the years of the economic boom it moved the still young Federal Republic. The story of the red-light district of the city quickly mutated into a full-blown moral scandal in stuffy Germany of the 50s. And the police investigations fail one after the other. The apartment prostitution in Frankfurt’s center prospered, as did the city itself, the fair, the stock exchange and the red light district. The documentary paints the true picture of Rosemarie Nitribitt, beyond the image of a supposedly glamorous courtesan. She was a foster child, raped at the age of 11, who learned from it and soon realized, that sex is just another commodity.
