Hubert Fischer Weindolf

Hubert Fischer Weindolf was a 37 year old man who was the owner of a pub in the northern part of Obersendling called Heroes of the Malt. In May of 1925, an incident involving the disappearance of Rudolph Schröder marked the beginning of the decline of his establishment, and also of the district itself. Three months later, Hubert sold the pub for a relatively low price and moved to Hadern with his wife, Margaret Weindolf. In the 4th of May of the following year, Hubert mysteriously died of what doctors diagnosed as cardiac arrest, even though he had no history of heart problems and his health was better than average. Margaret fell into a deep depression, and spends the day constantly weeping for her husband, mourning over his photographs, letters, notes and other belongings.

Friendships
Hubert greatly valued his friends, which included the late Rudolph Schröder and also Franz Hofmann, although his relationship with the latter was not widely known. Hubert and Franz exchanged correspondencies with relative frequency, usually writing about work and life in general. The last letter was written by Franz; its contents shed some light into his thoughts preceding the incident involving his disappearance. In the letter, Franz states that he has received orders from his boss to investigate Obersendling and, feeling uneasy about the task, made a covert reconnaissance visit in an afternoon, against the recommendation to go at night to avoid attracting attention. There, he found a heart-shaped locket with the inscription "Jacques Lemaître Beauvois", and soon after heard footsteps and the rustling of dry leaves in the distance. Franz finishes the letter saying that he quickly collected the piece of jewellery and hurriedly escaped the place, going back to his home in Grünwald to prepare for the actual nocturnal delving into the district's heart, stashing away the locket in a drawer in this bedroom just in case someone might need it eventually.
