A small door studded with iron bands led to the first floor of the tower.
Here in the underground dungeon lay the young, beautiful woman, the wife of a Coburg citizen, who was accused of being a witch.
An evil person who was generally only called the "witch's nose" had hounded until the relatives who were hostile to the young woman accused her of sorcery because her husband was seriously ill.
