Triberg Gallows, Historical execution site in Triberg im Schwarzwald, Germany.

The double gallows structure features two sandstone pillars connected by a wooden crossbeam, standing at an elevation of 1,020 meters above sea level.

The stone pillars, constructed in 1721, replaced earlier wooden gallows that served as execution grounds for the Anterior Austrian Obervogtei of Triberg.

The southeastern pillar displays the construction date of 1721, while its companion bears initials representing the mason's mark from the original construction.

Visitors can reach the monument via hiking trails from the Stöcklewald car park or along the K5728 Schönwald-Villingen district road.

Records indicate that fifteen executions occurred at this site by 1779, with twelve cases related to accusations of witchcraft.
