Karl Heinrich Leopold Deschner (23 May 1924 – 8 April 2014) was a German researcher, humanist, activist and writer.

His best known work was the 10 volume opus Christianity's Criminal History (Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums, Rowohlt Verlag GmbH, Reinbek). He was born in Bamberg, Bavaria, Weimar Republic.

Deschner died on 8 April 2014 in Haßfurt, Bavaria, Germany. He was 89 years old.[1]
