Gab es HEXEN?

In the early modern period, a mere suspicion or rumor could be enough to destroy a life. This historical documentary about witch hunts in the Eifel region takes us to Kronenburg, a place with a dark past that still resonates today. Together with historian Dr. Alexander Berens, we explore how accusations arose, why they were believed, and how fear, superstition, and the pursuit of power led to deadly trials. In the narrow streets of Kronenburg, on the way to the castle ruins, and with a view over the Kyll Valley, we reconstruct documented witch trials from the region. The film reveals the role played by neighborhood disputes, rumors, and social tensions. Ordinary women were branded as witches, not through magic, but through human actions. A central element of the film is the search for the presumed execution site on the Höchst hill. The exact location remains unconfirmed. We present historical maps, known clues, and open questions in research, clarifying where established facts end and uncertainties begin. We place the witch trials in Kronenburg within a broader context. We examine witch trials in the Eifel region, in Germany, and across Europe, explaining why these persecutions were not a myth, but a real historical crime. This film weaves together history, mystical sites, ancient castles, dark forests, and historical secrets into a well-researched yet atmospheric narrative. It is aimed at anyone interested in mysticism, historical locations, medieval history, castles, palaces, and the hidden side of the Eifel region.
