Hexenverfolgung

from historycast - Was war, was wird? Hosted by Dr. Almut Finck und Dr. Heiner Wember

Hexerei haben Menschen schon immer betrieben, sagt Renate Voltmer, sowohl Glückszauber, als auch schwarze Magie. Aber erst mit den Krisen und Kriegen der Frühen Neuzeit kam es in vielen, sowohl katholischen, als auch protestantischen Territorien des Reichs zu Massen- oder Kettenprozessen gegen vermeintliche Hexen. Ihnen wurde unterstellt, sich mit anderen Hexen und dem Teufel verbündet zu haben. Es waren mehrheitlich, aber längst nicht nur Frauen, und zwar aus fast allen Schichten, die angeklagt und meist grausam gefoltert und getötet wurden. Die oft genannte Zahl 9 Millionen ist allerdings ein Mythos. Realistische Schätzungen gehen von europaweit 50.000 bis 60.000 Hingerichteten aus.
