Schadenhorny?

--- Quote ---What I've been looking for is a word (preferably, but not necessarily in German) that would describe a reflexive form of schadenfreude, ie. - enjoyment at another's misfortune that they caused to themselves (most likely through sheer stupidity).
--- End quote ---

Cerement, THAT is the true "Schadenfreude". You laugh only if another inflicts damage on himself. If the damage comes from other sources than own stupidity, it is not funny... and by this, no "Schadenfreude", like if another car crashes into the one of your neighbours. If you get your fun out of the damage others receive by acts of god or just pure "Shit Happens", then it is "Haeme" (maliciousness) or "Niedertracht" (infamousness).
