The Gallows Gate once led to Köpfleinswiese. The former place of execution in Rothenburg is located at the junction with Würzburger Straße. The traffic lights are visible from the Galgentor. The square in question was once located there. En passant, you now also know why the gate is now known as the Würzburg Gate, as it leads towards the town on the Main. Back to the unpleasant past: the last execution is documented in the Rothenburg ob der Tauber town archives for the year 1776. The executioner was an employee in the service of the town.
