History of the Galgenberg When the insolvency of the city treasury became public at the next scheduled date on June 9, 1509, and the debt had already grown to 600,000 guilders, representatives of the guilds and the urban poor stormed the council chamber to depose the councilors. Kellner, who had triggered the unrest with an autocratic and provocative speech in the council chamber, initially managed to escape. "Who is the community? – This is the community!" Obervierherr Heinrich Kellner, pointing to himself, hurled this at the enraged citizens storming the council chamber on June 9, 1509. In these words lay the self-confidence of a patrician ruling class of wealthy merchants and war profiteers, who determined the fortunes of the city. However, they had driven Erfurt to ruin in the preceding decades, which now provoked the popular wrath. This went down in history as the "crazy year".[4] Alarmed by the unrest in the city, the Elector of Mainz and the Saxon Dukes began a game of intrigue to consolidate their influence in the city. Mainz made common cause with the guilds, while the Dukes supported the noble and council families. After his arrest, Kellner's fate was sealed; after agonizing torture and public condemnation, he was hanged on the Galgenberg on June 28, 1509. Source: Wikipedia
