Abstract

Wolfgang Petz reconstructed the story of the “last witch of the Allgaeu,” Anna Maria Schwägelin, based on sources that had been deemed lost. There are few studies on regional history that have been constructed on the basis of such exacting work and in front of such a broad social-historical backdrop. By using the individual fate of Schwägelin as an example, Petz also offers a comprehensive portrayal of the history of the persecution of witches.
