Late medieval court for the trial of serious criminals. In the Middle Ages, "penal" referred to public punishment, which usually involved physical pain and torture. As a deterrent, those executed were often left "braided on the wheel" or hung from the gallows for a long time. The surrounding area still bears the local name "Am Gericht" (Am Court).
