Medieval Crime Museum

  • October 22, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by xine from Santa Monica, California
This is Germany’s most important historical law museum. It houses a variety of old legal documents and instruments used for torture and punishment. There is a lot to see, read and learn from the displays which are well-described in English. I found the shame masks amusing and got a kick out of the head/neck violins used to lock together quarrelsome women. Some of the torture instruments are really awful though-- Be glad you did not live in Medieval Germany!

Admission is 4DM for students; 6DM for adults.
