Burning of witches in Wittenberg, woodcut showing the burning of four persons as witches in Wittenberg in 1540 as a pamphlet for deterrence. According to contemporary witnesses, the victims are roasted alive on pillars in a particularly cruel manner by being set up on oak pillars, forged and miserably smoked and dried out with fire, like bricks.
