Tips
For the witch trial of Else Simons from Pützfeld, see e.g. eifelschreiber.com/2019/02/15/der-richtplatz
The place where the barbecue hut is located is called Auf Wolfsgraben. Else Simons is said to have ridden here on a goat to dance with other witches. And this is where her death sentence was carried out to demonstrate the victory of the judiciary over witchcraft.translated by
