Interactive exhibition "Mythos Jackl - Wizards and Witches in Salzburg!
The interactive exhibition "Mythos Jackl - Sorcerers and Witches in Salzburg" is all about the magical arts and a dark chapter in Salzburg's history. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of witches and wizards on a total of four levels of the historic Zeughaus. From the fairy-tale characters from books and films to historical witches and healers to the cults that exist around the world today. The exhibition offers many opportunities for interaction. Children fly over the castle walls with a witch's broom and perform magic together with a witch.
Magician Jackl: Witch trials in Salzburg
An entire floor of the exhibition is dedicated to the witch trials in Salzburg: between 1675 and 1679, the Salzburg court had the alleged witch Jakob Koller - the so-called Sorcerer Jackl - and his followers prosecuted. Charges were brought against 198 people of all ages, many confessed under torture and 138 of them were executed. A dark chapter in Salzburg's history. Adults can watch an interrogation scene from the last major Salzburg witch trial surrounding the "Ramingstein Beggar's Wedding" "live" in the form of an elaborate 3D hologram projection.
Based on the bloodiest witch trial on the territory of present-day Austria, the exhibition at Fortress Hohenwerfen provides an insight into an era of history in which the belief in witches and wizards and magical practices were firmly anchored in everyday life. With the discovery of new continents and the schism under Martin Luther, the world was in a state of complete upheaval. People were faced with unexplored phenomena: Natural phenomena and capricious weather could not be explained by anything other than magic or the work of God. People believed in magical abilities and secret knowledge. Witches were credited with both ominous and healing magical powers. They were accused of being in league with demons or the devil and thus being able to cast spells. The witches thus became the scapegoat for everything that seemed dangerous to the world.
