''The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, Or: How Violence Develops and Where it Can Lead'' (German: ''Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum oder: Wie Gewalt entstehen und wohin sie führen kann'') is a 1974 novel by Heinrich Böll. The story deals with the sensationalism of tabloid news and the political climate of panic over Red Army Faction terrorism in [[TheSeventies 1970s]] UsefulNotes/WestGermany. The main character, Katharina Blum, is an innocent housekeeper whose life is ruined by invasive tabloid reporter Werner Tötges and a police investigation when the man with whom she has just fallen in love, Ludwig Götten, turns out to be wanted by the police because of a bank robbery. The book's fictional tabloid paper, ''Die Zeitung'' ("The Newspaper"), is modelled on the actual German ''Bild-Zeitung''.
The novel received a film adaptation in 1975, directed by Margarethe von Trotta and Volker Schlöndorff (the latter of whom who also directed the film adaptation of ''Literature/TheTinDrum'') and starring Angela Winkler as Blum, Creator/JurgenProchnow as Götten, and Dieter Laser as Tötges.
