A town in West Germany, Münster, is popular of its story of the religious group of the Anabaptists.
In 1534 Münster got recaptured and the 3 leaders of the Anabaptists got murdered. Their bodies were put into 3 cages on the tower of St. Lamberts Church.
Recently there was a huge discussion about putting down the cages because of getting remembered of that act of cruelty.
