The Flosser place of execution, with the symbols gallows, wheel and sword, was located outside the city, about 400 meters northwest of the Boxdorf district on the southeast edge of the wooded ridge there, which is commemorated by a memorial stone erected in 1992.

The place of execution of the Flosser court was once located on the ridge of the Flosser gallows. At least the delinquents still had a good chance before execution.
