This film is about a few exemplary selected crime stories that actually happened in Freising and the surrounding area and are described in detail in the book along with other dark stories. A chapter was even dedicated to criminal cases in Neufahrn. One of these stories deals in detail with the gruesome murder of a Neufahrn peasant woman on Corpus Christi day in 1852. It was mostly filmed at the original locations, edited and set to music in the Winklmeier studio in Fürholzen. The period from the offense to the trial, usually before the Munich jury court, and to the execution of the judgment, extends from the 19th century to the early years of the 20th century. Scoundrels faced punishment up to the scaffold for their misdeeds.
The first place of execution in Freising was located near the old Münchner Straße - outside the Münchner Tor - on the so-called Schleiferängerl, today the Realmarkt is located there. From 1709, the location of the gallows changed when the executioner's house, later known as the "Schiller Farmer", was built on the hill between today's Prinz-Ludwig-Straße and Plantagenweg. One of the few descriptions of an execution is kept in the manuscript department of the Bavarian State Library. After that, on December 20, 1748, a dramatic incident occurred. When attempting to hang an outlaw, the hangman's guilty displeasure is said to have broken the rope. When they tried to strangle the condemned on the ground with all their might, Weihenstephan students intervened,grabbed the poor fellow on a horse and kidnapped him to the nearby Weihenstephan Monastery - where the persecutors were not allowed because Weihenstephan was abroad for the Freising thugs at the time. Later, in 1808, the rotten gallows even broke off. After the secularization of 1803 there were no more executions at all in Freising.
