Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum

Rothenburg ob der Tauber


The star attractions at this gruesomely fascinating museum are medieval implements of torture and punishment. Exhibits include chastity belts, masks of disgrace for gossips, a cage for cheating bakers, a neck brace for quarrelsome women and a beer-barrel pen for drunks. You can even snap a selfie in the stocks. The museum has 50,000 exhibits making it the biggest of its kind in Europe.
