Bamberg witch trials
Witch hunt in Germany from 1627 to 1632
Bamberg witch trials
The Bamberg witch trials of 1627–1632, which took place in the self-governing Catholic Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg in the Holy Roman Empire in present-day Germany, was one of the biggest mass trials and mass executions ever seen in Europe, and one of the biggest witch trials in history. Over an extended period around 1,000 people were executed after being accused of witchcraft in Bamberg, about 900 of whom were executed in 1626–32. The Bamberg witch trials were among the largest witch trials in the Early Modern period: it was one of the four largest witch trials in Germany alongside the Trier witch trials, the Fulda witch trials, and the contemporaneous Würzburg witch trials, all under the auspices of the reigning Prince-Bishops.
