The Witch trials of Fulda in Germany from 1603 to 1606 resulted in the death of about 250 people.[1] They were one of the four largest witch trials in Germany, along with the Trier witch trials, the Würzburg witch trial, and the Bamberg witch trials. [2] The persecutions were ordered by the Catholic Prince Bishop, a follower of the Counter-Reformation. Crypto-protestants were executed on charges of witchcraft.[3]
