Dortmund police have asked the public to ID a man with severe amnesia found in a freight train with just books and an asthma spray. He is otherwise of sound mind. The only thing missing, police say, is his memory.
A picture of the white, bearded man in profile (pictured below). They referred to him by the provisional name Herr W. or Mr. W.
Police found Mr. W. at the beginning of April in a parked freight train car at Dortmund's main train station. He had no money, no ID card and no clue who he was or how he came to be in the train wagon.
The only items the man had on him were in a brown bag, namely an asthma spray and four books - three of which were historical biographies on figures in the Habsburg family, one of Europe's most influential royal houses, most closely connected to Austria.
When police asked who he was, he told them he was King Ludwig of Bavaria.
Mr. W. can paint well, loves classical music and is very religious. During Catholic mass, he knows all the words to the prayers and the songs.
He also speaks with an accent from Hesse, indicating he might have been born or spent a long time in the central German state whose largest city is Frankfurt.
