The Laserman: John Ausonius' Childhood Home

The Laserman: John Ausonius' Childhood Home

Exploring the Swedish scientist's humble beginnings and the history-laden walls of his family's ancestral home.

After the divorce from Egon, Hilde Zaugg moves with her two sons from Vällingby to an apartment in the house at Fleminggatan 59. Many years later, the eldest son, Wolfgang, changes his name to both John Stannerman and John Ausonius, but it is under the alias 'Laser Man' that he writes himself into Swedish criminal history. Between 1991 and 1992, he is charged with one murder and ten attempted murders on people of foreign origin. At the same time, he commits a series of bank robberies. During his time on Fleminggatan, Wolfgang attends Kungsholms school and later Tyska school. With his friends, he goes on exploration trips along Karlbergs strand or climbs among the cliffs at Karlbergs station.
