There are a lot of stories circulating about the children's advent calendar in Hanover Germany. The local tourist authority created the advent calendar last year and it features the image of serial killer, Fritz Haarmann. The town argues that Fritz Haarmann, known as the Hanover Vampire and the Butcher of Hanover, is part of the town's history and so, is displayed on the calendar along with other famous townsfolk.
If you travel to Hanover, Germany, you may go on a guided tour of the town and hear about the famous murders. There is little doubt that tourists visit for that very reason, but come on, an advent calendar! Open the door and collect your chocolate, don't worry, it's not the chocolate the Vampire used to lure 24 young boys to there death, please. This is absurd!
One commenter on a blog asked, where's Hitler's advent calendar? I don't know if Hitler ever had an advent calendar, but in 1938 he was Time Magazine's Man of the Year. You can read more about Fritz Haarmann in Wikipedia.
