☀️Memorial of the Day (MOTD): Katharina Henot Memorial in Cologne, Germany. Outside Cologne’s town hall stands a statue of Katharina Henot, Germany’s first female postmaster, executed as a witch in 1627. Wealthy and influential, she never confessed under torture but was still put to death.

Her statue, made by descendant Marianne Lüdick in 1988, stands beside Jesuit Friedrich Spee’s, who condemned witch trials in 1631. Henot was officially rehabilitated in 2011. Katharina also has a street and a school named after her. The 1989 movie ‘Die Hexe von Köln’ details her life. 🎥
