The gallows forest in Birkfeld still holds stories today, including the consequences of a wrongful conviction during the Thirty Years' War. A vagrant was falsely accused and executed, which led to a devastating storm and the formation of the Schinaglgraben, which divided the village and made it uninhabitable for centuries. Today, only the gallows remain as a reminder of this dark episode in the past.
The building is protected under the Monument Protection Act.
