A former execution site on the Genießerpfad.

Execution site in retirement.
The last execution took place here in 1818. A large information board provides detailed information. For the not-so-awe-inspiring, there is a bird's nest swing right across the street 🤪

The scaffold - the word comes from French and means "scaffolding" - is round and made of stone. Seven steps lead to the pedestal, which is said to have been the place of execution for the city of Calw until 1818.

In the past, the "witches" were burned or beheaded here. And it is said that the spirits of the innocent dead are still haunted here. On the 1.70 meter high and 5.80 meter wide, accessible scaffold there is a 55 centimeter high and 46 centimeter wide wooden stake in which a sword is stuck.

In addition to a bench, there is also a bird's nest swing near the scaffold, which is great for resting. There is also an interesting information board that tells a story about a woman robbery.
