The good old days? Not at all! Nine authentic criminal cases from three centuries provide a deep insight into the dark chapters of Hohenlohe's history. It's not just about bloody deeds and their often cruel punishments. This book also tells the stories of the lives of the perpetrators and victims, as well as the everyday life of the common people from Hohenlohe. Sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous, often surprising, and always based on historical documents. Regional history cannot be told in a more engaging way.
