Germany>Lemgo>The Black Book of Lemgo
Between 1509 and 1681 about 250 people were executed in Lemgo as witches: a schoolmaster, a cantor, a merchant widow, a pastor, above all ordinary women. Every accusation went into one register, the Black Book, and in 1715 the council burned it on the market square. 

The man who wrote it walks you through ten stops of what is left: the gate where a pastor was beheaded at dawn, the executioner's house, a marble block set in your path, an archive with 200 trial files.

Die Mission: Deine Geschichte in Lemgo

Lemgo kept a register. Every accusation of witchcraft, every name coughed up under torture, went into one volume the town called the Black Book. In 1715 the council carried it out onto the market square and burned it in front of everyone. By then about 250 people were dead: a schoolmaster, a cantor, a merchant widow, a pastor, and above all ordinary women.

I wrote that book. Not my name, you will not find my name anywhere in this town, but my hand. Fifty years of it.

The paper is ash. The names are not. They are still here: in a plaque, in an archive, in a block of marble somebody set deliberately in your path, in the house of the mayor who signed for a hundred deaths. Ten stops. Walk them, answer what I ask, and I will read you the entries. Two of the years you pick up on the way you will need at the end. Write them down. I always did.
