Punishment of a baker-worker in Munich

“Modern legislation knows only three kinds of punishments for crimes: a fine, imprisonment and, in exceptional cases, the death penalty; The Middle Ages in this regard were distinguished by amazing ingenuity: each kind of crime entailed the appropriate punishment; Thus, shameful pillars were created, beating with sticks and lashes, all kinds of torture and a number of special properties of punishments that did not subjected the guilty of long physical suffering, but shaved him, who put him on the mockery of the crowds.

By the way, a violent bathing belonged to such a genus of punishments, which was usually subjected to food supplies, convicted of a deliberately unexpressive product or in a customer body kit. For a greater disgrace of a guilty punishment, this was usually executed in the place where the horses are bathed. ”
