The punitive measures of past times still fascinate in a certain way.

It is no longer the original pillory column, but at its location, here at the Falkentor in Hessische Strasse, there was once a very uncomfortable wooden frame for punishing criminals who were caught.

The pillory, stake or kaak was a punishing tool in the form of a pillar, a wooden post or a platform on which a convict was tied up and brought before the public. Initially a torture tool and a place of corporal punishment (stäupen), pillory became widely used in the 13th century for the execution of honorary sentences. The pillory also served the cities as an outward sign of jurisdiction. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pranger
