history
With the town charter granted in 1537, the mining town of Sankt Andreasberg received its own jurisdiction. In 1663 Christian Ludwig , Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , had a gallows set up on the Galgenberg. The condemned were led over the poor sinners alley and the way Auf der Höhe to the gallows. On the way, they should have the opportunity to sit on a stone and ponder their sins while looking over the mountain town.
