Forum Home > Public : Images > next attempt with ai - 16th century sceneTwo very young girls, members of a gang of thieves, were hanged by Frantz Schmidt at Nuremberg in 1584.
From his Journal:
"February 11th. Maria Kurschnerin of Nuremberg, alias Silly Mary, who had formerly been whipped out of town with rods, and had her ears cropped; also Katherine Schwertzin of Weher, alias Country Kate, who had also formerly been whipped out of the town; both of them thieves and whores, who with thievish youths and fellows climbed and broke into citizens’ houses and stole a mighty quantity of things; both hanged at Nuremberg. It was an unheard of thing for a woman to be hanged in Nuremberg, and it had never yet happened."
I tried to reconstruct this event by a sketch from the "Neubauersche Chronik" from 1601.
