Jougs (pillory)

For the lower village jurisdiction in church villages applied,
left at the entrance. e.g. cemetery gate.
Only at larger intervals and in case of multiple infringements against local
legislation and customs.
The delinquent was put into the jougs before the church service,
so that all the villagers came to the church and also after the service.
The delinquent was branded in the village for the whole life. Often it only helped to change the location.
