Lohrer Galgen

Beschreibung

The Lohr gallows, to which the stone tower belonged, was probably erected on June 30, 1609, on the orders of Elector Johann Schweikard von Kronberg to replace an older structure. A "high court," also known as a court of blood, judged over life and death and pronounced the death penalty. The location of the high court also underscores the significance of the city.
