    In the Hexenturm in Zeil, those accused of witchcraft were previously subjected to "embarrassing" interrogation, ie torture.
    Most of them came from Bamberg and were tortured alone far from their actual home!
    Many did not survive, even if they did not confess.

    Place worth seeing with beautiful half-timbered houses and some good places to stop for refreshments.

    Informative tour of those accused of heresy at the time. One of the bigger "hotspots" in the district when it comes to witch hunt. Bamberg's darkest years ... the stronghold of the burning of witches.
    As a child I found an old Time Life book about the persecution of witches in Bamberg and the surrounding area.
    Worth seeing...
