Jan van Leiden ended up there (dead already) together with the ex major and...... Any any case: for the dutch speakers: there is a very good podcast, Jan van Leiden, Max Boogaard and a even better book by Luc Panhuysen, de beloofde stad.
Unfortunately no translation available for either.
Those are the Wiedertäufer Käfige in Münster. The tower was partly destroyed at the end of WW2 and the cages were damaged. In 1948 they were repaired and reinstalled. So they've seen some work but they are still the same cages that were originally built in 1535.
Are the cages at St Lambert's church in Münster? Going on a roadtrip to Germany in 3 weeks and would love to go see them. Any other attractions in Münster, all info is greatly appreciated!
Yes, they are. I am not from there and just knew about the cages by coincidence. However, here is a (German) wiki with attractions. https://wiki.muenster.org/index.php/Kategorie:Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeit
Unfortunately I can't give you better pointers than that.
Cheers i'll go and have a look at the wiki. Ill translate the page as i dont speak german.
If any one as attractions on something they love about Münster, ill gladly read about that too. Im a tourist but prefer going to places locals enjoy, rather than over touristic areas!
Hi! I live near Münster, maybe i can give you some tips.
The Aasee: Its a Lake somewhat in the middle of the City. Its pretty nice to chill out there and have a drink or two. Many locals will sit around the lake and have their little partys and get togethers.
The Lambertikirche, as mentioned above.
Then you should definitely visit the Prinzipalmarkt, which is near the Lambertikirche. Its a wonderfull very "old-germanish" styled shopping street with a high diversity on shops, bars, and all that stuff. Definitely try some fresh bread from the bakerys there.
Theres also the old Townhall, which is very famous for their Friedenssaal (Room of freedom?). You can visit it, theres a lot of history to be seen in there.
You also should look up when the local farmers markets open up, you get very fresh and good quality produce there.
If you want to go out partying, definitely check out the "Jüdefelder Straße", there are many clubs in one street next to each other. Davidwache is a pretty cool spot as far as i heared.
A bit further out, theres a zoo and a pretty cool planetarium.
Have fun in Münster! :)
Thanks for the info! The market street and the farmer market will definitively be a must for me.
Münster seems like a place filled with history, I will enjoy myself for sure!
I live really close to Münster. The city is just gorgeous. Just to walk around and see the unique architecture. If you're into beer, there's a good brewery with a beer garden called Pinkus in the old part of town.
You know something called preservation? There are things you can apply on steel, some kind of magical coating, that prevents the steel from oxidizing, so that a part from history can be enjoyed by generations to come.
I have shocking news for you: they do a similar thing with paintings of old Masters!
Tell me you never saw something that came out of a blacksmith shop without telling me that you never saw something that came out of o blacksmith shop....
Or why do you think the paint color Schmiedeantik is called Schmiedeantik?
They were dead before being placed in the cages.
If memory serves me right, the condemned were tied to a post and tortured for one hour, one by one. If one of them fainted while being tortured, the process would be stopped until they regained consciousness at which time the torture would continue. At the end of the hour, the condemned was killed, usually with a knife through the heart.
As the condemned were tied to posts back to back, they could hear the screams and feel the shaking of their co-conspirators who were being tortured, realising their turn was coming soon.
Once dead, they were placed in the cages and hung at the church as a warning to all.
Holy fuck humanity is scary sometimes. I don’t think there’s really anything to justify that level of torture, but I’m curious, what did these guys do to get tortured like that?
*From Wikipedia:*
> John of Leiden (born Johan Beukelszoon; 2 February 1509 – 22 January 1536) was a Dutch Anabaptist leader. In 1533 he moved to Münster, capital of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, where he became an influential prophet, turned the city into a millenarian Anabaptist theocracy, and proclaimed himself King of New Jerusalem in September 1534. The insurrection was suppressed in June 1535 after Prince-Bishop Franz von Waldeck besieged the city and captured John. John was tortured to death in the city's central marketplace on 22 January 1536, along with Bernhard Knipperdolling and Bernhard Krechting.
Probably, but I wouldn't be so sure. After all, the first-hand accounts are made by the authorities that tortured him to death. And judging from the perspective of our own time: Was he really any worse than the state that he supplanted? I doubt it.
Have you read what this guy did to the city while in power? Among a lot of other crap, polygamy was... "enforced" with women who disagreed with it being beheaded.
And he got into power after an even crazier anabaptist dude died fighting. It’s like Hitler dying and another nazi getting as much popularity and power and extending ww2 another 5 years.
Those cages held the bodies of some particularly nasty cultists who took over the city of Münster. I’m not in favour of capital punishment, but on this occasion the state church was not the villain of the piece.
Well okay, John of Leiden was "nasty", but come on... the Prince-bishop didn't need to have John's body ripped apart with red-hot tongs for the space of an hour, then have his tongue ripped out of his mouth while he was still alive.
That sounds a little excessive.
The people in there were executed in 1536. The events surrounding the execution were very much part of the dynamics that we consider the starting point of the early modern period.
These cages are not medieval.
Those are from the Münster Rebellion. Marguerite Youcenar (famous french and belgian author) made a fantastic book narrating this episode : L'œuvre au noir (The Abyss, in english)
These were the cages that held the bodies of three revolutionaries. I remember seeing this. IIRC there were three revolutionaries that were captured, tortured and mutilated. Then hung in those cages for about 50 years before finally being removed. They left the cages there though.
Good old Christianity, the largest purveyor of peace and harmony.
Yes. We moved to Germany from the usa and my husband wanted to see them in person knowing the story. He remembered them as being in Münich. They were in Münster.
Münich was nice, don't get me wrong, but it was bout 6 hours in the wrong direction. Nice memory though.
(And the cages are badass)
Not from the Middle Ages. They're ~~replicas from~~ the cages in which anabaptist rebels' bodies were shown to the people after the anabaptist rebellion during the Reformation.
Nope. They are still the originals. Also, they are not "cages", but baskets.
>Am Turm von St. Lamberti hängen die „originalen“ „Wiedertäufer-Käfige“ von 1535/1536. Das offensichtlich unausrottbare Gerücht, es handele sich dort oben um Kopien, die Originale befänden sich im Stadtmuseum in der Salzstraße, hat der Gründer des Zoologischen Gartens Hermann Landois in die Welt gebracht.

If a foreign theocratic terrorist group takes over your hometown, expelles all Catholics, confiscates all wealth and food, forces polygamy on the population (women can't refuse a proposal) and makes the trapped population fight to the bitter end against the government while the leadership lives in luxury, you also might take a dim view of said group.
You hate to throw things out that you might need again someday. Plus, no one makes them anymore. Who can blame them for wanting to ‘hang’ on to those?
I have a love-hate relationship with most or all large churches. That is, I love to hate them - in as much as I hate anything. I try not to hate, of course, because such things lead to cruel cages like this, when humanity as a whole is considered.
I saw those on my school trip to Germany. They're pretty high up. I remember asking "so they kept the dead bodies in there? Like...oozing through the bars??" and my teacher was all "I would assume so. Things were gross back then" lmao
They were the first Christians in centuries (or: ever, depending who you ask) who didn't believe in paedobaptism (baptising children). So, they would baptise people again. 'Ana-' basically means 're-' in Greek, so 'anabaptist means 're-baptiser'.
(If that were the only point, these people wouldn't have been persecuted and tortured the way they were, but a part of this sect went batshit crazy. You can read up on it on Wikipedia).
The middle ages have no defined ending, most people accept around the 1500s as the end
Which would mean that, yes, these are actually from the middle ages......
Lmao can use those for rly bad criminals and see offenders though and leave them to the mercy of the weather,honestly it would be a well worth punishment for being a jerk to society.
There is a super cool podcast episode about this
It's crazy
https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDc3NDE5My9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9zMy11cy13ZXN0LTIuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbS9kY2ZlZWQvNDgtUHJvcGhldHMtb2YtRG9vbS1IYXJkY29yZS1IaXN0b3J5LURhbi1DYXJsaW4ubXAz?ep=14
If you get in one of the side ones and quickly step out before it starts moving, it'll lower the middle one so you can ride it down to the secret boss if you're quick enough to get in
In my home town we have something similar hanging from the old 'weighing building'. This building hosted scales that were important for trade in a time before official weight standards to serve as the single source of truth regarding weight in the city.
On the outside of the building still hangs a cauldron that was used to boil counterfeiters alive in the 15th century. They hung it outside the building as a warning for everyone.
https://www.deventertoenennu.nl/tijdvakken/ketel-aan-de-waag-65a68a
The original cauldron is now inside the building because its condition was deteriorating due to the elements. An exact replica was just put back on the outside recently. They even replicated the bullet holes that were shot in it by Napoleons soldiers.
This is where the bodies of the anabaptists were displayed after their execution. There's a great Dan Carlin podcast about that: Hardcore History – Prophets of Doom
They are in the City Münster in NRW. Münster is also called "Die Fahrrad Stadt" which means "The Bike City" because so many people drive a bike insteqd of a car there. Its a lovely place, if you ever vist North-Rhine Westfalia i can just recommend going there
I believe that's in Munich. There's a great story behind how those got there. The TLDR version goes basically like this:
Don't fall for crazy religious end-of-the-world crap. Everyone can interpret the Bible how they want, but some really shouldn't.
These middle age cages look brand new, I knew German engineering was good, but this is on another level
Right? I don’t think they had stainless steel in the Middle Ages lmao
They solved the problem of rust in the Middle Ages don’t ya know.
The process of bluing (coating via black oxide) was actually already known in the Middle Ages.
They got restored in 1927 and 1945. According to Wikipedia.
Is that reich?
Reich was technically from 33 to 45. But a certain person was around back then. Just not as chancellor.
war ends…”so hey guys I’ve been thinking, let’s restore our torture boxes. That’s probably a smart move after all this Nazi business.”
Reich?
The cages need to get cleaned after being rented out ☹️
quaint fixer upper with amazing city views. $4000 first month free!
They are perfectly livable if you expand the space a little with galavanized steel beams and anchors borrowed from your aunt.
You really need eco friendly wood veneer to bring the place together
In fact, they were full of white dried substances. >!Probably those pigeons pooped all over the place.!<
Yeah i’m pretty sure they’re on a higher level indeed, assuming the church gas multiple levels
it's the aftermath of the Munster Rebellion, Dan Carlin did a podcast about it, #48 Prophets of Doom
Such a great episode, but really i could say that about most of them
Jan van Leiden ended up there (dead already) together with the ex major and...... Any any case: for the dutch speakers: there is a very good podcast, Jan van Leiden, Max Boogaard and a even better book by Luc Panhuysen, de beloofde stad. Unfortunately no translation available for either.
Also Q by Luther Blissett is a fun fiction piece about that.
That episode, holy shit.
Sure they knew how to galvanize steel back then lol
Those are the Wiedertäufer Käfige in Münster. The tower was partly destroyed at the end of WW2 and the cages were damaged. In 1948 they were repaired and reinstalled. So they've seen some work but they are still the same cages that were originally built in 1535.

Oh i forgot to mention the Harbor, "Münsteraner Hafen", there are a lot of restaurants with a beautiful scenery around them.
Thanks for the info! The market street and the farmer market will definitively be a must for me. Münster seems like a place filled with history, I will enjoy myself for sure!
That's a good approach in my opinion. I hope you have a great time in Germany.
[удалено]
You should also visit the Münster Schloss (castle) its botanic garden is great
I live really close to Münster. The city is just gorgeous. Just to walk around and see the unique architecture. If you're into beer, there's a good brewery with a beer garden called Pinkus in the old part of town.
A cage of Theseus
"they broke our cages that we let people rot in!" "oh no! we need those! get them repaired"
They've replaced the steel strips with new ones as they rust, and all the screws are new of course, but they're the same cages
Is the boat still same if you replace all the nails and wood?
AFAIK they didn't replace most of the metal.
You know something called preservation? There are things you can apply on steel, some kind of magical coating, that prevents the steel from oxidizing, so that a part from history can be enjoyed by generations to come. I have shocking news for you: they do a similar thing with paintings of old Masters!
Magical? Tell me more!!!!
Christ brings love and galvanized square steel beams
God is merciful and brings eco-friendly wood veneer that lasts for thousands of years
I would've thought they were out of oxidised copper. Edit: ... or bronze
At least bluing was known back then.
Tell me you never saw something that came out of a blacksmith shop without telling me that you never saw something that came out of o blacksmith shop.... Or why do you think the paint color Schmiedeantik is called Schmiedeantik?
Not quite middle ages but it was first described in 1742.
These cages held the corpses of Münster Rebellion leaders as a grim reminder of the past. Still hanging on St. Lambert's Church in Germany.
At least one of those is a shortcut elevator.
[удалено]
I think in this case the condemned were already dead when placed in the cages
They were dead before being placed in the cages. If memory serves me right, the condemned were tied to a post and tortured for one hour, one by one.

Read up on it. Dude had it coming.
Probably, but I wouldn't be so sure. After all, the first-hand accounts are made by the authorities that tortured him to death. And judging from the perspective of our own time: Was he really any worse than the state that he supplanted? I doubt it.
Christianity, a religion of peace, love and forgiveness
Have you read what this guy did to the city while in power? Among a lot of other crap, polygamy was... "enforced" with women who disagreed with it being beheaded.
And he got into power after an even crazier anabaptist dude died fighting. It’s like Hitler dying and another nazi getting as much popularity and power and extending ww2 another 5 years.
Funny to see how misinformation spreads.
Nope, stop spreading misinformation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_Leiden If someone wants some more information
Dan Carlin from Hardcore History did an awesome episode about this a few years back
1534. Early modern times, not medieval.
By the age of 25 had already started a cult and declared himself a king. This man's LinkedIn profile would have been fire.
Can someone please explain to me why the people of the Middle Ages were such deranged bloodlusting psychopath sickos?
[удалено]
It's not medieval
The Renaissance was the time of the wars or religion and the witch burnings in Europe.
Münster. Beautiful city
Dan Carlin's Prophets of Doom covers this story. It's quite amazing.
Because God is love.
Those cages held the bodies of some particularly nasty cultists who took over the city of Münster. I’m not in favour of capital punishment, but on this occasion the state church was not the villain of the piece.
yes, that was the Munster mash, it caught on in a flash.
*I was working in the church, late one night...*
Well okay, John of Leiden was "nasty", but come on... the Prince-bishop didn't need to have John's body ripped apart with red-hot tongs for the space of an hour, then have his tongue ripped out of his mouth while he was still alive. That sounds a little excessive.
The people didn't need to try eating the cobblestones either, but someone said they'd be turned to bread so fuck em.
And we are sinners.
Looks like dark souls elevators
The people in there were executed in 1536. The events surrounding the execution were very much part of the dynamics that we consider the starting point of the early modern period. These cages are not medieval.

Revolutionaries in the sense that ISIS were revolutionaries. These were in no sense good guys.
They were not the good guys in this case.
Yes. We moved to Germany from the usa and my husband wanted to see them in person knowing the story. He remembered them as being in Münich. They were in Münster. Münich was nice, don't get me wrong, but it was bout 6 hours in the wrong direction. Nice memory though. (And the cages are badass)
Listen to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History if you want to learn about those cages.
That medieval supermarket shopping cart delivery system for those who live high up was cutting edge. But the wait was torture.
Cages from the middle ages = cool band name
This is where we put "Falschparker"
There’s a dan Carlin podcast - “profits of Doom “of who ended up in those cages and their wild public executions
Not from the Middle Ages. They're ~~replicas from~~ the cages in which anabaptist rebels' bodies were shown to the people after the anabaptist rebellion during the Reformation.
Nope. They are still the originals. Also, they are not "cages", but baskets. >Am Turm von St. Lamberti hängen die „originalen“ „Wiedertäufer-Käfige“ von 1535/1536.

I was going to say that considering their condition, there is simply no way these are not reproductions.
They are still the originals, but they were repaired over the years
But why are they shiny? Silver metal paint? Some specialist conservation treatment?
Don't know, I haven't found anything about that yet, but they probably have some protective coating.
If a foreign theocratic terrorist group takes over your hometown, expelles all Catholics, confiscates all wealth and food, forces polygamy on the population (women can't refuse a proposal) and makes the trapped population fight to the bitter end against the government while the leadership lives in luxury, you also might take a dim view of said group.
With my very limited knowledge of Germany, but my high level of dark souls knowledge, these are lifts
You hate to throw things out that you might need again someday. Plus, no one makes them anymore. Who can blame them for wanting to ‘hang’ on to those? I have a love-hate relationship with most or all large churches. That is, I love to hate them - in as much as I hate anything.

Fuckin hate that level
Kinky
I saw those on my school trip to Germany. They're pretty high up. I remember asking "so they kept the dead bodies in there? Like...oozing through the bars??" and my teacher was all "I would assume so. Things were gross back then" lmao
I appreciate the honesty
I think I’ve seen those on AirBnB!
Whats anabaptist?
They were the first Christians in centuries (or: ever, depending who you ask) who didn't believe in paedobaptism (baptising children). So, they would baptise people again. 'Ana-' basically means 're-' in Greek, so 'anabaptist means 're-baptiser'. (If that were the only point, these people wouldn't have been persecuted and tortured the way they were, but a part of this sect went batshit crazy. You can read up on it on Wikipedia).
I see some unused living space. 560euro cold, great view, good ventilation.
As a kid I was in Münster from time to time and I remember learning about those cages. Kinda gruesome, but also cool
I guess these are the ones in Münster on the church tower. Look like a pretty much final destination...
Does anybody here read the book Q? There's a big chapter about those cages
Have you heard of an elf on a shelf? Prepare yourself for CAGES ON CHURCHES!
These are not cages, but baskets. Btw, they are still the originals from 1535!
sad that i automatically think about elden ring...
Münster spotted
That’s not medieval. It’s from the 1500s which isn’t considered Middle Ages.
Fox News will point to this and say “look how much worse the poors used to have it! No one needs a minimum wage increase!”
You fools these are not cages! They are for deep frying them fries.
The cages are not from the Middle Ages. They were built in 1535. they are in Münster/Muenster
The middle ages have no defined ending, most people accept around the 1500s as the end Which would mean that, yes, these are actually from the middle ages......
Christianity's ISIS days
If you mean these three guys were ISIS, you're correct
I just listened to this on the History Daily podcast. Very cool!
Gibbets and Crows…
Dotard!
At least they got the skeletons out.
The tale of the two Ians
Is Germany still allowed to have those kinds of cages?
So want to be caged in there! How?
Three usurpers later hanged by the pope after he found out about their heretical actions. The cages are a modern replacement to remind of the history
There to remind people to be crateful that this is no longer practiced.
Im preety sure its not church but cathedral.
No, it is a church, it is the Lamberti church in Münster. It was never the seat of a bishop (that is a different one in Münster), so no cathedral
They're not medieval, but from the Renaissance...
In the middle ages you could get looked up for even suggesting stainless steel
Put that knife bastard in there. The set it deep enough so people may burn his feet with coal
If you get into one of the cages it’ll take you down to fight Mohg.
Why haven't they rusted away?
Well, 1535 is not exactly Middle Ages...
thats cages that are for bakers that bake bread that is not weighed right
That just sounds like a limerick
This gives me Elden Ring vibes.
I'm thinking they would have rusted to dust by now. Could be wrong.
Lmao can use those for rly bad criminals and see offenders though and leave them to the mercy of the weather,honestly it would be a well worth punishment for being a jerk to society.
Bloodborn
They need some fresh air between usage
Am I the only one who sees elevators?
Dark souls, anyone?
Memento
ach....ze good old dayz
fot the naughty kids that wont have fun time with the pastor
Are these the cages they hanged Anabaptists in? The tailor of Munster?
There is a super cool podcast episode about this It's crazy https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDc3NDE5My9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9zMy11cy13ZXN0LTIuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbS9kY2ZlZWQvNDgtUHJvcGhldHMtb2YtRG9vbS1IYXJkY29yZS1IaXN0b3J5LURhbi1DYXJsaW4ubXAz?ep=14
If you get in one of the side ones and quickly step out before it starts moving, it'll lower the middle one so you can ride it down to the secret boss if you're quick enough to get in
Man got telepirted to dark souls.
köln
No, it's Münster.
It seems like they expanded the praying room with galvanised square steel but they forgot to cover it with eco friendly wood veneer
Are they painted silver? Can't possibly be hundreds of years and not be corroded
They are polished regularly???
In my home town we have something similar hanging from the old 'weighing building'.

Iirc this is munster and had to do with said city's rebellion
Damn, that must be medieval KRUPP-STAHL! Looks almost brand new!
But now for the real important question. Which 3 people would you put in them?
Too bad we can't put our disgraced politicians there so bystanders could adorn their visage with any kind of human excretion.
This is where the bodies of the anabaptists were displayed after their execution. There's a great Dan Carlin podcast about that: Hardcore History – Prophets of Doom
Just a friendly reminder.
Pretty kinky, lets organise a party with some dancers inside
The rim is calling me
I only live like an hour away! So i have been there a couple times! Very cool to look at! And it has a lot of really nice Cafés around the church ^^
I wish we were allowed to put Nazis into them ... maybe in the future
They are in the City Münster in NRW. Münster is also called "Die Fahrrad Stadt" which means "The Bike City" because so many people drive a bike insteqd of a car there. Its a lovely place, if you ever vist North-Rhine Westfalia i can just recommend going there
Must be an shortcut to next zone
Looks like they are new....
For drying mangos right?
Galvanized square steel only🤬. Where's the eco-friendly wood veneer and screws borrowed from aunt?
My fav church in münster. It's gorgeous
“With death let them be killed!” - Jan Van Leiden
"Middle Age" Cages
That's in Münster, right?
I would fill these cages , who would you guys fill them with ?
/r/ForbiddenAirbnb material right there 😅.
How would they get someone inside their?
How would they get someone inside there?
Ah, the good old times.
Maybe we need this in the future.
I see good use for then
Im pretty sure this is just a shortcut to Micolash but okay
In case you wondered... They do NOT rent them out to civilians for... lets say roleplaying interests 😀 /jokingornot?
Is the one in the middle... ... one of the middle cages?
I believe that's in Munich. There's a great story behind how those got there. The TLDR version goes basically like this: Don't fall for crazy religious end-of-the-world crap. Everyone can interpret the Bible how they want, but some really shouldn't.
Only 400 Euro per night on Air BNB
We need to bring these back into fashion. You know, for good reasons.
So they honor their "traditions", that's their culture.
