Zum Henker...! nach Rheinfelden.
Panoramica
Introduzione
On this gruesome and creepy tour, you accompany the executioner Mengis through the old town.
The last executioner in Rheinfeld was called Theodor Mengis. He carried out all the death sentences handed down in civilian trials in Switzerland from 1879 to 1918. On this gruesome and creepy tour, you will accompany the executioner Mengis through the old town. Learn his stories about justice, what his life was like and how the executions took place.
The executioners had a very ambivalent life. On the one hand, they became very wealthy, as they often traveled to other towns and regions, which had to appoint and pay an external executioner in the absence of their own right of execution; on the other hand, they were extremely ostracized people, so in many places they even had to live outside the town walls. Even in the church, the executioner probably always sat in a separate place right by the entrance.
