Stadtführung mit dem Henker durch Dortmund

In the organizer's words:

The dark Middle Ages and early modern times also left their bloody stories in the free imperial city of Tremonia. The torture sites were located outside the city walls, and cruel punishments such as burnings, wheelings and executions took place at the West Gate. Treason was punished on the old market square, where onlookers gathered. The first "witch" in the county of Dortmund, Anna Coester, was burned in 1581 after she confessed to having caused the death of a child through sorcery. The executioner will subject her to a water test. Will she pass it?

Accompany "Master Hermann" in his cruel craft. Anyone who wants to can apply to be an executioner's servant or take part in the "judgment of God"!

Executioner's dinner (sausages and schnapps) included.
