Executioner's House
An executioner's house is a house in which an executioner or serf of a town lived in the German-speaking area from the Middle Ages to the 19th century . The executioner's house, which in some areas was mostly on the edge of the city limits due to the very low reputation of the profession of executioner, was often also the city's prison.
