"Geht ihr guten in die eßige ruh
Get fan uns ir sünder"
Everything began in the year 1415 with the birth of 
pastor Ludwig –
Raised in Christian surroundings and under the aura of 
god and family, he was exposed to religious customs 
from childhood
In his youth – already – he uttered the desire to serve 
god and Jesus
His entry into the church as a young acolyte was 
accomplished, protected and secure, Ludwig rendered his 
cardinal every service
But as the plague devastated his family in 1435.
His vision of god changed, he doubted his existence
(his mind would become his foe)
He knew how to use the hunt for the evil
That had haunted his land, for his own purposes
Women, children and the dying sought help and 
protection in his church
It must have been hundreds!
It must have been hundreds!
Within holy buildings the victims of the plague were 
abused
He carried out experiments on skin, limbs and the 
psyche until death
The bodies he buried on his premises alive or dead
Repainted in the likeness of Mary – the virgin and 
mother
Nobody found out about his doings
Nobody was interested in his actions
Ludwig hanged himself in 1451
