It resulted in the deaths of between 300 and 600 executions, and was one of the greatest witchtrials in history, as well as one of the greatest executions in peace time. The Bamberg WitchTrials erupted during a period of a series of mass witchtrials in the area of Southern Germany, contemporary with the W rzburg witch trial s and others. The witch craze of the 1620s was not confined to Germany, but influenced Alsace, Lorraine and Franche Comt in the lands of the abbey of Luxueil the years 1628 30 have been described as an pid mie d moniaque. The area had been devastated by war and conflicts within the Holy Roman Empire, as well as a series of crop failures, famines and plagues. Rather than blaming the politicians, people looked for supernatural explanations, and accusations of witchcraft proliferated. Bamberg at the time was a small state ruled by the Prince Bishop Gottfried Johann Georg II Fuchs von Dornheim , who took a leading role in the persecutions he earned the nickname Hexenbischof or Witch bishop. He was aided by Bishop Forner, who wrote a book on the subject. The prince bishop built a witch house, complete with torture chamber adorned with appropriate biblical texts. The Bamberg witchtrials have been described as possibly the worst of the period. The bishop s chancellor, Dr. Haan, was burnt for showing suspicious leniency as a judge. He confessed to having seen five burgomasters of Bamberg at the sabbat, and they too were duly burnt one of the was Junius.

The Szeged witchtrials , which took place in the city of Szeged in Hungary in 1728 1729, was perhaps the largest witch hunt in Hungary. It led to the death of 14 people by burning. The trials The witch trial was instigated by the authorities, which decided on this measure to remove the problem of the public complaints about the drought and its consequences of famine and epidemics by laying the responsibility on people among them, which had fraternized with the Devil. If they were killed, the problems would be solved God did not like the people, and thus they were being punished. A fear arose in the Habsburg empire that witches had begun to be organized like military units. A particular fear in Hungary was that witches were also vampires . Among the people accused was the former judge and richest citizen of the town, 82 year old D niel R zsa, said to be the leader of the witches, and Anna Nagy K k nyn , a midwife who had accused him of witchcraft. On 23 July 1728, 13 people, six men and six women, were burned at the stake for witchcraft on on a peninsula of the Tisza, called Boszorkanysziget Island of Witches . Witchtrials had occurred in Hungary since the 16th century, but did not reach any high level until the 1710s and 1720s, when the real panic arrived.

The Salzburg witchtrials , known in history as the Magician Jackls process , which took place in the city of Salzburg in Austria in 1675 1690, was one of the largest and most famous witchtrials in Austria . It led to the execution of 139 people. It was an unusual witch trial, as the majority of its victims were of male gender. Background In 1675, Barbara Kollerin was put on trial for theft and sorcery in Salzburg together with one Paul Kalthenpacher. During torture, she confessed that her son, Paul Jacob Koller, had a pact with Satan . Her partner, Kaltenbacher, confirmed this and described Jacob as a man of 20, the son of an executioner s assistant. Barbara was to have thought him the profession of begging, theft and fraud. Barbara Kollerin was executed in August 1675. The authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of her son. He became known as Wizard Jackl or Magician Jackl or J ckel. The Jackl trial In 1677, the government said to have received the news that Jackl was dead. They had arrested Feldner Bettlerbub Dionysos, a handicapped 12 year old boy who was called Dirty animal , and who was to have had contact with Jackl three weeks earlier. The boy confessed that Jackl was the leader of gangs of poor beggar children and teenagers from the slum, whom he taught black magic. This led to mass arrests of homeless children and teenagers. The hysteria spread to the entire archbishopric. During the interrogations of the captive beggar teenagers, the confessions of the prisoners lead to more and more myths about Jackl. He was claimed to be able to make himself invisible and enchant mice and rats, which ruined the harvests of the farmers.
