The Linz sisters, Viktoria, Katharina and Elisabeth, are three women whose mother had gradually withdrawn from school by creating and reinforcing a story that their father was a monster, to the extent that they believed they must absolutely avoid him. This resulted in the children increasingly remaining indoors in a house of incredible filth for seven years, from 1998 to 2005. They are known as the Linz sisters because the case took place in Gramastetten near Linz, Austria.

  • The Linz sisters, Viktoria, Katharina and Elisabeth, are three women whose mother had gradually withdrawn from school by creating and reinforcing a story that their father was a monster, to the extent that they believed they must absolutely avoid him. This resulted in the children increasingly remaining indoors in a house of incredible filth for seven years, from 1998 to 2005. They are known as the Linz sisters because the case took place in Gramastetten near Linz, Austria. Early media reports that the mother had kept the children prisoner and that they had invented a language were contradicted by a special report in Le Figaro. In that report, Margareth Tews, the tutor of the youngest two, stated they were busy re-accustomising them to the presence of their father.
