During the reign of the prince provost Wolfgang von Hausen (1584-1603), Johann Christoph I. von Westerstetten (1603-1613) and Johann Christoph von Freyberg-Eisenberg (1613-1620) around 450 people were executed in 1588 and 1611-1618, many up the pyre. That was about half of the women in Ellwang and one in six men.
