A small hill, now surrounded by dense forest, has been the scene of sad events. In the stranglehold on the parish gallows, many villains have dangled - and probably even innocent unfortunates. For those who want to find their way to the old execution site, it can be mentioned that it is located next to the rest area along the road 24th at the southern entrance to the community. Today's gallows are a reconstruction and do not work.
Today their is only a path leading to the gallow but from the beginning their was stairs, they were called 'The staircase of sighs'
because the convicted had to walk.
