    Bechtheim around 1600: Bechtheim belonged to the Counts of Leiningen-Hardenburg for almost 600 years, who had “house and yard” here, as the morning books of the community show. The counts were judges over the neck and neck and held court days in Bechtheim at certain times. Bechtheim became the seat of a magistrate's court. An old court seal with the signature “FVRSTL. LEINE STAIN BECHTHEIMER COURT INSIG ”. The pillory stone is still on the market square today, the place of execution was west of the village in the Gewann "Galgengrund".

    Prangerstein - a testimony to past jurisprudence:
    A punishment for minor offenses in the 16th-18th centuries Century by tying on the pillory stone.
    Intended as a deterrent for passers-by.
    Translated by
    The historic pillory stone on the market square should be missed during your visit.
    In the Middle Ages, this was probably used to punish minor offenses.
    Hmmm: What awaited those who committed more serious crimes back then?
