Tips

This pond got its name based on the "fast gallows" that used to stand here. The Vilseck Chronicle describes: "Some Vilseckers, who only obeyed laws and regulations when they brought them advantages, could easily be forced and encouraged through a" quick gallows treatment "to serve the welfare of all again in their lives. ) The quick gallows was an effective means of coercion. (...) The Vilsecker Schnellgalgen consisted of a gallows-like wooden frame on which a basket-like housing hung on a chain, which could be locked but still provided a view. (...) The convicted criminal had to take a seat in the basket, then the city servant threw the swaying basket repeatedly and unexpectedly into the water, whereby the convicted person often swallowed water in his fear.
