Meet The Man Who Sired 7 Kids With His Daughter & Now Wants To Reconcile With Ex-Wife

Josef Fritzl wants a reconciliation with his former wife – and bizarrely claims they are still married despite divorcing 11 years ago in an extraordinary new memoir to try and win his release from prison.

The Austrian sex monster, who locked his daughter Elisabeth in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, makes light of his horrific crimes and describes his trial as a ‘huge fuss’ in the new book.

Notorious incest kidnapper Fritzel was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009 for incest, rape, coercion, false imprisonment, enslavement and for the negligent homicide of one of his infant sons born as a result of sex with his own daughter.

In his macabre memoir, Die Abgründe des Josef F (The Abysses Of Josef F) Fritzl expresses little remorse and is also slammed for being ‘self-pitying.’

Despite his heinous crimes, Fritzl maintains that he still harbours dreams one day of living again with his wife Rosemarie, who he describes as ‘the love of my life’ and is even prepared for them to stay in separate bedrooms.

He also admits, ‘I have so much to explain to her.’

Rosemarie, 82 and Fritzl, 87 married in 1956 and had three children. According to Austrian media, he divorced her in 2012 after she refused to visit him in prison, but this was not confirmed by authorities in the country.

In his book, Fritzl suggests that they are still married.

He writes: ‘I always got along well with her. But we had very different spheres of life. I had my job, my travels, and of course my secret love affairs. I was always looking for adventure in some way. I guess I didn’t appreciate her enough.

‘I have so much to explain to her. They say that you should not only be at peace with yourself, but also with others before leaving this world.’

Astonishingly, Fritzl reveals that if he were ever to be released, he would like to live with Rosemarie.

He writes: ‘Besides, I am still married to my wife. If I were released, I would like to be with her again. Live with her in a house, even with separate bedrooms.

‘Of course, only if she still wants that, if she still believes in me. In any case, I am always here for her. I would be really pleased if you got in touch with her. As you can see, I am a loyal dog.’

In another extraordinary rant, Fritzl professes the virtues of family life, insisting: ‘The parental home was the most important thing. Now days everything is completely different.

Fritzl now wants to reconcile with his ex-wife after regretting his actions.
