Triberg gallows
The Triberg gallows , located on the Hochgericht hill ( 1020.6 m above sea level ) on the K 5728 Schönwald - Villingen district road, is a double-sleeper gallows in the Schwarzwald-Baar district in Baden-Württemberg .
At the current location of the High Court , a gallows was shown for the first time on a map of the Benedictine monastery St. Georgen from the end of the 16th century . The Villinger Pürschgericht map by David Rötlin shows two wooden gallows in the same place. The stone complex that still exists today replaced the previous wooden buildings in 1721. As a sign of the jurisdiction of the Upper Bailiwick Triberg , the place of execution was visible from afar. Up to the year 1779 15 executions are recorded, twelve of them for witchcraft .
The gallows consists of two sandstone pillars reinforced with iron bands , which are connected by a wooden cross beam that was added later. The south-eastern pillar bears the year 1721, the other two initials, which are probably stonemason's marks.
The Mittelweg runs past the gallows and leads from Pforzheim to Waldshut.
