Fedelen - Arresten - Faaborg, Danmark - Punishment and Disciplinary Devices on Waymarking.com

I Faaborg arrest museum, kan ses flere forskellige redskaber til afstraffelse.

Ligesom enhver anden by havde Faaborg sit eget korps af vægtere, der patruljerede i gaderne. De tjente som en slags politistyrke, holdt lov og orden og var bevæbnet med en morgenstjerne.
Offentlig ydmygelse var en udbredt straffemetode, der tjente som et eksempel til afskrækkelse for borgerne. Netop af denne grund var det almindelig praksis at den dømte måtte bære en seddel med angivelse af den type forbrydelse, han eller hun havde begået.
Det var vægteren, der beskyttede de dømte kriminelle på deres tur til ydmygelse gennem gaderne og byen. Mændene måtte bære den "spanske kappe", som var en tung 25 kilo trætønde. De dømte kvinder bar "fedelen" rundt om deres hals. Dette stykke træ blev sat rundt om halsen, og hænderne blev låst fast. Derefter måtte de gå gennem byen med en ringlende klokke over deres hoved.

In the Faaborg arrest museum, different tools for punishment can be seen.
Just like any other town, Faaborg had its own corps of watchmen patrolling in the streets. They served as a sort of police force, keeping law and order, and were armed with a morning star.
Public humaliation was a common method of punishment serving as an esample of deterrence to the citizens. For this very reason, it was common practice to put a note on the convicted person, stating the type of crime that he or she had committed.
It was the watchman who guarded the convicted criminals on their tour of humillation through the streets og town. The men had to wear the "Spanish cloak", which was a heavy 25 kilo wodden barrel. The convicted females wore the "fedelen" around their neck. This piece of wood was formed like a fiddle and the hands were locked to the device. Then, they had to walk through town with a bell ringing over there head.
