Beate Schmidt (born Wolfgang Schmidt; 5 October 1966) is a German serial killer and rapist, who killed six people and injured four between 1989 and 1991 in various villages in Brandenburg. The then-unidentified killer was nicknamed the "Pink Giant" (German: Rosa Riese), from witness descriptions of Schmidt, who stood 190 cm (6 ft 3 in), and the presence of discarded pink lingerie at some of the crime scenes.
