Martin Schroeter (born 5 December 1940) is a Dutch member of the Schroeter family from Rotterdam. The family member list associates him with the Middenvader Era.[1] He supported the Schroeter loyalists during the family split and vandalized property associated with Rotterdam-West and Schroeters-West. In 1960, he received a five-month prison sentence for desecrating graves to obtain bones for a private collection. Schroeter held far-right political views.
Early life
Schroeter was born in Rotterdam on 5 December 1940. The dispute within his family caused repeated clashes and property damage during the 1950s.[2] When the conflict culminated in 1959, Martin did not attend the second Middenvader Commissie. He instead vandalized property belonging to Rotterdam-West and supporters of Schroeters-West. His targets included property owned by Martin de Bordeelbaas, beginning a personal feud between them.
Criminal case
In 1960, Schroeter desecrated graves to obtain human bones, which he kept in a private collection. He loved bones, particularly those of the spine, because they reminded him of the Schroeter family's merg tradition. He was sentenced to five months in prison and was later released.
