    Image Bamberger Dom BW 6.JPG thumb 230px Bamberg Cathedral The Bamberg witch trials , which took place in Bamberg in Germany in 1626 1631, are among the more famous cases in European witchcraft history. They resulted in the executions of between 300 and 600 people, and were some of the greatest witch trials in history, as well as some of the greatest executions in the Thirty Years War. The Bamberg Witch Trials erupted during a period of a series of mass witch trials in the area of Southern Germany, contemporary with the W rzburg witch trial s and others. The witch craze of the 1620s was not confined to Germany, but influenced Alsace, Lorraine and Franche Comt in the lands of the abbey of Luxueil the years 1628 30 have been described as an pid mie d moniaque . The area had been devastated by war and conflicts within the Holy Roman Empire, as well as a series of crop failures, famines and plagues. Rather than blaming the politicians, people looked for supernatural explanations, and accusations of witchcraft proliferated. Bamberg at the time was a small state ruled by the Prince Bishop Gottfried Johann Georg II Fuchs von Dornheim , who took a leading role in the persecutions he earned the nickname Hexenbischof or Witch bishop. He was aided by Bishop Forner, who wrote a book on the subject. The prince bishop built a witch house, complete with torture chamber adorned with appropriate biblical texts. The Bamberg witch trials have been described as possibly the worst of the period. The bishop s chancellor, Dr. Haan, was burnt for showing suspicious leniency as a judge. He confessed to having seen five burgomasters of Bamberg at the sabbat, and they too were duly burnt one of them was Johannes Junius , whose testimony of the torture he was exposed to became famous.

  1. Liechtenstein witch trials

    The Liechtenstein witch trials took place between 1679 and 1682, after a first trial in 1648 1651. The second trial of 1679 1682 is known more in detail than the first. It led to the death of about 100 people. About as many people of both genders seem to have been executed. The trial was instigated in 1679 by the Governor, Dr Romaricus Pr gler von Herkelsberg, in Vaduz . At this point, the ruler of the state, Karl Eusebius, Prince of Liechtenstein , had acquired large debts and the finances of the state was in a bad condition, which was reduced by the fact that the property of the executed could be confiscated by the crown. After the escape of Maria Eberlin von Planken from Vaduz, the priest Valentin von Kriss vor Ort appeared before the Emperor in Innsbruck and claimed that the witch trials was conducted by unlawful methods. The emperor formed a commission to investigate the matter. In 1682, the commission declared the witch trials to be illegal and ordered them to stop. The Liechtenstein witch trials led to feuds between among the families of the accused and the accusers which affected the society of Liechtenstein for a very long period after the trials. The first trial of 1648 1651 also led to the execution of about 100 people, the same number as the executed of the 1679 1682 trial, which makes the number of executed from the two big Liechtenstein witch trials to 200 altogether.

  1. Salzburg witch trials

    The Salzburg witch trials , known in history as the Magician Jackls process , which took place in the city of Salzburg in Austria in 1675 1690, was one of the largest and most famous witch trials in Austria . It led to the execution of 139 people. It was an unusual witch trial, as the majority of its victims were of male gender. Background In 1675, Barbara Kollerin was put on trial for theft and sorcery in Salzburg together with one Paul Kalthenpacher. During torture, she confessed that her son, Paul Jacob Koller, had a pact with Satan . Her partner, Kaltenbacher, confirmed this and described Jacob as a man of 20, the son of an executioner s assistant. Barbara was to have thought him the profession of begging, theft and fraud. Barbara Kollerin was executed in August 1675. The authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of her son. He became known as Wizard Jackl or Magician Jackl or J ckel. The Jackl trial In 1677, the government said to have received the news that Jackl was dead. They had arrested Feldner Bettlerbub Dionysos, a handicapped 12 year old boy who was called Dirty animal , and who was to have had contact with Jackl three weeks earlier. The boy confessed that Jackl was the leader of gangs of poor beggar children and teenagers from the slum, whom he taught black magic. This led to mass arrests of homeless children and teenagers. The hysteria spread to the entire archbishopric. During the interrogations of the captive beggar teenagers, the confessions of the prisoners lead to more and more myths about Jackl. He was claimed to be able to make himself invisible and enchant mice and rats, which ruined the harvests of the farmers.
