Gallows and Water Trial Site at Niederntor, Stadthagen
Highlight • Historical Site
In the records are the stories of torture, murder and hanged man, whose remains were left to deter the city gates to decay, not as a scary story, but as sober administrative acts.
Especially women suffered at the location of the gallows towards the end of the 16th and at the beginning of the 17th century. At this time, the witchcraft craze in Stadthagen reached its climax, whereupon the panel of the tourist office also points out. In the nearby ditch the water sample took place. Women who were thrown into the water and drowned were lucky - suspected magical powers had not saved them, so they could not be witches.
Bizarrely: According to the sources in the city archive, the water sample could have been a suicide method for depressed or otherwise mentally stressed women. For some volunteered to the authorities, saying they were not sure themselves, but it was possible that they were witches. Certainty could only create the deadly water sample.
Curious?
Adolf Tatje is on Tuesdays from 9 to 12.30 o'clock and from 13.30 to 17 o'clock in the city archives at the Landsberg'schen yard to be found.

Old Latin School, Stadthagen
Highlight • Historical Site
The building, constructed in the late Gothic style, is located to the east of the princely mausoleum and was used as a civic and Latin school at the time. The house, which is located directly on the city wall and whose trademark is the gate leading through the middle, can thus be regarded as the forerunner of today's school system.
As the oldest school in the former county of Schaumburg, the Latin school prepared, among other things, for university studies.
Schoolchildren used to come and go here until 1811. Before that, there had been a school in Stadthagen since 1330 to prepare for a degree.
At the end of the 16th century the so-called Gymnasium Illustre was added: an educational institution with the four faculties of philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and medicine - housed in the abandoned Franciscan monastery.
