Between 1540 and 1644, 21 women in Buxtehude were accused of being witches and sorcerers. A remarkable number for a small town in Lower Saxony. If you want to know more about this witch hunt, you can book a tour. The tourist information center is in the town hall and will certainly be happy to help.

In the community southwest of Hamburg, 21 women were documented as having been accused of witchcraft and sorcery between 1540 and 1644, 15 of whom were killed after brutal torture. Thirteen of the victims were cremated. The Buxtehude Council unanimously decided to erect a memorial for them. It consists of three bronze memorial plaques at the town hall.
