Otto Witte (October 16, 1872 – August 13, 1958) was a German circus acrobat and fantasist who said that he managed to be crowned King of Albania. In 1913, when Albania broke away from the Ottoman Empire, some Albanian Muslims invited Halim Eddine, a nephew of the Sultan, to come and be crowned king. Noticing his own resemblance to Halim Eddine, Witte said, he traveled to Durrës with a friend, the sword-swallower Max Schlepsig. He claimed that he had succeeded in being crowned king by the local troops on 13 August 1913. He also claimed that, over the next five days, he enjoyed a harem and declared war on Montenegro before his ruse was discovered. His claims also include that he took a substantial portion of the kingdom's treasury, and along with Schlepsig he managed to escape the palace wit

  • Otto Witte (ur. 16 października 1872 w Berlinie, zm. 13 sierpnia 1958 w Hamburgu) – akrobata cyrkowy, hochsztapler, rzekomo przez 5 dni król Albanii. Od 8. roku życia występował na arenie cyrkowej. W 1912 rozpoczął służbę w armii osmańskiej, awansując do stopnia majora.

  • Otto Witte (16 oktober 1872 - 13 augustus 1958) was een Duits circusartiest en kortstondig koning van Albanië. Hij werd geboren in Berlijn-Pankow. Al op zijn achtste werkte hij als goochelaar. Hij reisde later de hele wereld af. In 1912 nam hij dienst in het Turkse leger, waar hij het al snel schopte tot majoor bij de geheime dienst. Er wordt ernstig getwijfeld aan het waarheidsgehalte van Witte's verhaal. Er is in ieder geval nooit enig bewijs van gevonden, en prins Halim Eddin schijnt helemaal niet te hebben bestaan. (nl)
