"The witch trial against Anna Katharina Spee from Bruchhausen became particularly well known. She was a victim of the witch hunts in 1631 in Erpel with at least 20 executions: including 18 women and two men under the witch commissioner Dr. Jan Möden. In these witch trials, Anna Katharina Spee was tortured Statements by accused women accused of pacts with the devil Among others, the accused Els Istfels said her godmother Anna Katharina Spee was a "witch".

The fate of Anna Katharina Spee is still linked to the votive image of the Sorrowful Mother Mary in the parish and pilgrimage church of St. Johann Baptist in Bruchhausen. It was donated in 1636 by the children of Anna Katharina Spee after she was burned as the witch queen of Bruchhausen. The oil painting still hangs there today. The writing in the black wooden frame gives the names of the donors, who are kneeling in front of Maria in the picture – relatively small: Johann Jakob Spee and Agnes Spee with her husband Andreas Bachem.

In 1675 Margaretha Spee (died 1676), who lived in Bruchhausen after her time in the monastery, had problems paying for the masses of her mother, who had been executed 44 years earlier. The sale of a part of the castle led to a financial settlement between Margaretha Spee and the parish church in Bruchhausen. The foundation that was subsequently established in 1675 guarantees the financing of a mass for Anna Katharina and her family every Saturday to this day."

When you pass the Marien-Pilgrimage Church of St. Johann Baptist in Bruchhausen, you should take the time for a quiet stop! 🙏
