His crime rampage started in September 1918, a time in which Germany was suffering economic deprivation and severe food shortages. Haarmann's first known victim was a 17-year-old runaway named Friedel Rothe. When Rothe disappeared on 27th September 1918, his friends told police he was last seen with Haarmann, who at the time of this first known murder resided in a single room apartment at 27 Cellerstraße. Under pressure from Rothe's family, police raided Haarmann's apartment in October 1918, where they found their informer in the company of a semi-naked 13-year-old boy. He was charged with both the sexual assault and battery of a minor, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment.
