He looks too well fed to have been out in the woods for five years. If he’s so able to have survived in the woods for five years, with his father, why was his father so concerned about him seeking civilization the moment he was dying?

Another Kaspar Hauser!

Germans have Kaspar Hausers the way the Scots have the Loch Ness monster.

Put him back in the woods, keep your distance, and see if he can survive on his own for a month. If he can, he’s telling the truth. If he needs help, then he’s making up stories.

I thought that, too, and too well dressed. However, from the story, he wandered out in August of 2011, and has probably had a few meals since then.

They are publicizing it now to try to identify him, which they have not done yet.

This is very doubtful! His hair is too perfect and how would they be able to accommodate his growth with the fresh clothes he seems to be wearing? I think the necklace is too perfect as well.

He should be around 17? Mother died at 12 and they took to the woods for 5 years? He should have at least some sort of growth on his face. Again, too perfect!

I came across this one in the archives while looking for this story. I wonder how it turned out for them. A later news article said they disliked the news and media and disappeared again.

He has been living in Berlin for the last nine months.

A German folk tale about a supposed ‘’wild man’’ found in a German forest who is ‘’civilized’’. The moral point of the story is a kind of looking at ‘’civilized’’ society's attempt to ‘’civilize’’ the savage when the ‘’savage’’ views society with all it's faults and moral contradictions as the real savage.

Look at his cheekbones! He’s got to be at least 1/128th Cherokee, so he cook crab cakes in Oklahoma and run for Senate in Massachusetts... living in the woods is a piece of cake.

How long did it take you to read the article? He came to Berlin 9 months ago.

I know the story of Kasper Hauser and was just wondering if this were a modern day version of the same.

I even own a copy of the movie “The Enigma of Kasper Hauser” by Werner Hertzog. Really interesting film and story.

I read about Hauser when I was a kid. One of the most interesting stories I ever read.
