Yes there is at least one other movie about this case.
This one seems to be the english dubbed version:

Tried to download Rothenburg for quite a while and i always got Cannibal.
I own the german Cannibal DVD but unfortunately no subs.
Cannibal is some kind of low budget amateur piece. But it has good actors is directed very well excellent lighting and i think it's way more extreme than it's hollywood counterpart.
Especially in the sexual content. Yes Cannibal is full of gay scenes.
But how could one make a movie about two gays, eating the chopped of penis of one of them while he was still alive.
I was really surprised when i watched this. One of this movies where you think 'i hope no one enters the room and sees me watching this, but i cant switch of'
When you are interested in this case or want to get rid of your girlfriend it's worth a watch, but be warned!
I'm looking forward to see Rothenburg but I'm kind of sceptic because of the unnecessary "graduate student researches cannibal killer" subplot.
As you maybe all know, this is banned in Germany because the real Killer, Armin Meiwes, went to court and achieved that it could not be screened.
What better promotion can a film get?
And i wonder if Thomas Kretschmann will suck dick
Well, i don't think so.
