The three pillars made of quarry stone have been preserved from the former gallows on the Galgenberg. The gallows on which the condemned were hanged were pushed into their holes. The area was considered scary. The souls of the condemned would wander there and strange lights are said to have appeared on the meadows below the gallows.
