The Monk with the Whip (German: Der Mönch mit der Peitsche) is a 1967 West German mystery thriller film directed by Alfred Vohrer and starring Joachim Fuchsberger, Uschi Glas and Grit Boettcher.[1] It is inspired by the 1926 novel The Black Abbot and subsequent 1927 play The Terror by Edgar Wallace which also served as the basis for the 1965 film The Sinister Monk. It was made as part of Rialto Film's long-running series of film adaptations of Wallace's works.

The sets were designed by the art director Walter Kutz and Wilhelm Vorwerg. It was shot at the Spandau Studios and on location in West Berlin.

The film was released in the U.S. as The College Girl Murders.[2]
