Katharina Kepler Accused of Witchcraft
The executioner of Stuttgart shows the mother of Kepler the instruments of torture he will use on her if she does not confess. Katharina Kepler (1546 - 1622), born Katharina Guldenmann, was married to Heinrich Kepler and had one daughter and three sons; one of them Johannes, would become the great mathematician and astronomer. In 1615, a witch trial was initiated by Lutherus Einhorn who in his reign as Vogt of Leonberg (1613 - 1629) accused 15 women of sorcery and executed 8 of them. Johannes Kepler defended his mother himself, and was allowed to take her away in December 1616. When she returned to Leonberg in the summer of 1620, she was arrested and imprisoned for 14 months. She was told how she would be tortured, as a means of frightening her, but she refused to confess. In October 1621, Kepler was able to effect her release. Katharina Kepler died the following year.
