Old place of execution of the Kupferberg office. The local high court probably existed since 1340, the field name Galgenberg has been handed down since 1396. Since that time, Kupferberg had the supreme jurisdiction or the "Fraischgericht" for maleficent crimes. As a rule, the death penalty was imposed for capital crimes, i.e. murder or manslaughter, but also for aggravated theft or robbery. The Bamberg Neck Court Rules applied. The gallows were last renewed in 1694. A replica stands here today as a somewhat macabre reminder.

Until recently, there was an observation platform here. It has since been demolished, probably because it was in such a state of disrepair. Now only the symbolic gallows remains.
