Who was Anna Schnidenwind?
Anna Schnidenwind, née Trutt, was one of the last people in Germany and in Europe confirmed to have been executed in public for witch craft.
It was for the devastating fire of Wyhlen on 7 March 1751 which became the trigger of the witch trial. The fire destroyed most of the village. The 63-year-old peasant was accused of having caused arson through a Devil's pact.
She was judged guilty and sentenced to death. She was burned on 24 April 1751 Endingen, Germany in Breisgau after strangulation.
