Fritzl dungeon may be filled in
By Thomas Hochwarter
The cellar prison in which incest beast Josef Fritzl held his daughter captive for 24 years may be filled in with concrete, it emerged today (Tues).
An expert is set to decide what should happen to the man-made dungeon as interest in the estate in Amstetten, Lower Austria, has shrunk drastically, according to liquidator Walter Anzböck.
Anzböck said the privacy and personality rights of Fritzl’s victims needed to be considered in the decision.
The liquidator ruled out that the house under which Fritzl, 74, kept his daughter and their incest children would be opened to the public. It had been speculated earlier this year that the cellar dungeon could be opened for a TV documentary that would be shot in a bid to raise money for Elisabeth Fritzl and her children.
Meanwhile, Anzböck said four other properties once owned and managed by Fritzl’s real-estate firm have been sold.
Fritzl is serving a life sentence at Stein prison in Krems, Lower Austria, after he kept his daughter Elisabeth jailed in the dungeon beneath his family home in the remote town of Amstetten and repeatedly raped her. He fathered seven children by her, one of which he let die after it was born with breathing complications.

Once the cellar has been documented, any services such as water and power must be disconnected, the drain plugged and then the whole cavity, including the access, filled with foam concrete. This will stop the cavity from ever collapsing, to the detriment of neigbouring properties. Solid concrete might be too heavy and lead to subsidence as the cellar sinks. Leaving it is probably not a safe long-term option, as there are too many unknowns in the clandestine construction. And there is no need to leave a monument to what the bloody man did.
