Witches' Dance Site on the Faßenberg (Hanstedt)
Highlight • Structure
At the beginning of the 20th century, not only did the migratory bird movement emerge, many townsfolk were also increasingly drawn to the countryside, settling down in the great outdoors, gathering and occasionally also setting up small weekend homes. In Hanstedt, this happened primarily on the heights to the right and left of the idyllic Fassenbeke.
This hustle and bustle in the dark forest may have seemed suspicious to the locals and also had something mystical about it. They watched from a respectful distance and may have viewed sun worship and ecstatic dances as a kind of witch cult. The sentence: "There the witches dance!" will quickly have made the rounds and the square already had its name: "Hexentanzplatz".
