#BambergWitchTrials #WitchcraftHistory #GermanWitchHunts Between 1626 and 1631, Bamberg, Germany, saw a brutal witch hunt under Prince-Bishop Johann Georg Fuchs von Dornheim. The region was already reeling from famine, disease, and the religious strife of the Thirty Years' War. The trials began when the bishop accused citizens of witchcraft, and soon, the terror spread across the town. Thousands were tortured into false confessions, leading to executions by burning at the stake. Among the victims were Christina Morha, Johannes Junius, and Dorothea Flock. The trials only ceased after Dorothea's death prompted public outcry and an investigation into the trials, ending with the bishop’s death in 1633.
