Witches' Tree Rennerod

Highlight • Historical Site

The witch tree reminds of the cruel time of the witch hunt
in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Nassau Lands
had to suffer greatly from this madness at the time. Especially
in Dillenburg and Herborn left many innocent people
her life. There are more than 20 people from the Rennerod area
(mostly women) charged with witchcraft. If these
who were also executed on the witch tree must remain open.
At least the population at the time suspected one here
Hexentanzplatz (meeting point for witches).

Why old?

Something still runs on the tracks every now and then.

But that doesn't make it a highlight.
