Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Laudenbach/ Bergstrasse: Gedenkstein für Pfarrer Anton Praetorius vor der evangelischen Kirche, der hier von 1598 bis 1613 Gemeindepfarrer war und gegen die Hexenverfolgung kämpfte.

Inschrift:

Pfarrer Anton Praetorius (* um 1560 in Lippstadt, + 1613 in Laudenbach)
Kämpfer gegen Hexenprozesse und Folter
lebte und wirkte 15 Jahre bis zu seinem Tode als reformierter Pfarrer in Laudenbach. Durch sein mutiges Eintreten konnte er 1597 vier Frauen aus der Folterkammer befreien. Er verlor deshalb sein Amt als Hofprediger und fand Zuflucht in Laudenbach. Hier schrieb er ab 1598 sein Aufsehen erregendes Buch "Gründlicher Bericht von Zauberey und Zauberern", das er 1602 erstmals unter seinem eigenen Namen an die Öffentlichkeit brachte. Die Schrift gegen Hexenwahn, Folter und Gewalt hatte bis zum Jahre 1629 insgesamt vier Auflagen und trug viel dazu bei, den Hexenverbrennungen allmählich ein Ende zu setzen.
