Hiking

The pillory is part of a historical town tour through Daun. It was donated by the Eifelverein Daun local group. In the Middle Ages, this spot (today the forecourt of the "Forum" town hall) was home to the market square. Pillories often stood at such central locations. These "instruments of punishment" became widespread from the 11th century onwards and served to carry out punishments of honor. The pillory, where the convicted were publicly paraded and exposed to the scorn of their fellow citizens, also served as an outward symbol of jurisdiction for the towns.
