    The place of execution is referred to as a "three-sleeper gallows" because it consists of three sandstone pillars, which face each other in a triangle and are connected at the top with cross-connections. With this, several executions could be carried out at the same time last penance, for absolution for the wrongdoer

        The gallows were built in 1597 instead of a wooden gallows. The number of executed people is unclear, but there are some indications that relatively few people were killed there, which is probably also due to the relatively liberal jurisprudence of the Erbach count house.
