Geocache Description:


Ribes gamle galgebakke ligger, hvor den nordgående

landevej ud af Ribe tidligere delte sig i

Vardevej og Koldingvej. På dette synlige sted, kun

et stenkast vest for den nuværende hovedvej 11, ligger

et par større fygesandsklitter, som man i gammel tid kiggede hen

til med gru. Her stod byens imponerende galge med sine tre høje

piller. Retterstedet tjente til skræk og advarsel for enhver, og blandt

andet »heksen« Maren Splid blev i 1641 brændt her på bakkerne.

Landskabet var dengang åbent og skovløst.

Fra engang i 1500-årene stod Ribe bys galge på galgebakkerne. Selve

galgen bestod af en stor underbygning og derover tre murede piller,

hvorfra de dømte blev hængt i jernkæder til skræk og advarsel for

enhver. Galgens tre søjler skulle minde om de tre kors på Golgatha.

Galgen på galgebakken i Ribe har mindet om den bevarede galge i

Visby på Gotland i Sverige.

Ribes Old Gallows Hill is where the northbound

road out of Ribe previously shared in

Vardevej and Koldingvej. At this visible place only

a stone's throw west of the existing Highway 11, is located

a few large drifting sand dunes as one in ancient times looked towards

watched in horror. Here was the city's impressive gallows with its three high

pills. The place of execution served as a warning to anyone and among

second 'witch' Maren schism was in 1641 burned here on the hills.

The landscape was then open and forest solved.

From sometime in the 1500s stood Ribe city gallows on galgebakkerne. the

gallows consisted of a large under construction and over three brick pillars,

where the condemned were hanged in iron chains as a warning for

any. Gallows three pillars should recall the three crosses on Calvary.

The gallows at the place of execution in Ribe has reminded the preserved gallows in

Visby on Gotland in Sweden.
