All of Bamberg is talking about the witch craze that prevailed here four hundred years ago. During the preparations for a special exhibition, the grave of a witch commissioner is opened, said to be cursed along with his family. Shortly thereafter, a local reporter is murdered, who intended to write about the exhibition. A doctor comes under suspicion from Commissioner Horst Müller and his colleague Paulina Kowalska; her healing methods border on magic, and her opponents call her "The Witch of Jakobsberg." Bamberg, caught between murder, magic, and the Inquisition: a thrilling, winking look at hysteria and witch cults.
