Hexenturm Obernburg

The name of the witch tower is reminiscent of the rampant witch craze during the Thirty Years' War. Those suspected of witchcraft were imprisoned in his dungeon. It is documented that Katharina Märchtin, who was accused of witchcraft, was imprisoned from 1642 until her death in 1644 (Obernburger Blatter, Issue 1, 1999).Those suspected of witchcraft were lowered in an elevator to their windowless, dark dungeon, where the tortures took place. Thanks to the initiative of Michael Waldrab and the deceased city guide Ursula Buluschek, who again set up a dungeon with torture tools and a replica elevator in the tower, one can now imagine the hopeless and desperate situation of a locked "witch".

The appearance of the Witch Tower corresponds to the Täschenturm. The former access from the city wall is halfway up.
Its name is reminiscent of the witch craze, and it also served as a municipal prison for a time.

Luckily you don't need that nowadays... witches have had their day
