About 1/3 of the way up is a door, that is the top of the dungeon pit where they threw prisoners. One prisoner was Fritz Erbe, an early Anabaptist who was imprisoned from 1540 until his death in 1548, for refusing to baptize his children as infants. The Anabaptist movement gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites, who believe in adult baptism. Interestingly, we have Erbe in our Ungerech family tree, but probably not related. |
