Hexenwahn: Die Dokumentation

SYNOPSIS

At the beginning of the early modern period, tens of thousands of alleged witches were burned at the stake in Europe. The fires burned particularly brightly in Germany. Catholic Bamberg was a center of witch hunts. Under Prince Bishop Fuchs von Dornheim, almost the entire city council was accused of witchcraft and executed. Preserved trial files give shocking insights into the prosecution and criminal practice of that time.
