Henkerhaus, Medieval residential building in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany
The Henkerhaus stands against the medieval city wall, featuring a half-timbered construction with a plastered facade from the 19th century renovation.
Built in the first half of the 18th century, the building served as the residence and workplace of the city executioner until the mid-19th century.
The museum section displays exhibits about medieval jurisdiction, including execution tools and documents about witch trials between 1536 and 1658.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00, with weekend hours from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00.
The reconstructed Black Kitchen within the building demonstrates daily life from the 17th to 19th centuries through authentic period furnishings.
