08 - BruchsaL - Scharfrichter - Johann Reichhart, 08 - Bruchsal,

For the benefit of new members I will repost the photos of Bruchsal prison execution shed and guillotine:

Bruchsal prison execution shed which housed the guillotine. It was 6 meters deep and 15 meters long. It was divided into three rooms: an anteroom where the condemned prisoners were presented and their identity verified, the actual execution room with guillotine, and a room for the executioner

The guillotine stood by the pole attached to the wall.

The Bruchsal executioner was Johann Reichhart. It is obvious that he preferred Mannhardt guillotine over Tegel type. All the execution sites he typically served (Munich Stadelheim, Stuttgart, Bruchsal were equipped with a Mannhardt type guillotine , or at least one that looked like a Mannhardt in Bruchsal. It looks obvious that the all metal Bruchsal guillotine was made at his request. Johann Reichhart served for some time was an executioner at Vienna Regional court, which was equipped with a Tegel type guillotine. This guillotine supposedly frequently malfunctioned and Reichhart disliked it.

Der Bruchsaler Scharfrichter war Johann Reichhart. Es ist offensichtlich, dass er Mannhardt Guillotine über Tegel Typ bevorzugte. Alle Übungsorte, die er gewöhnlich bediente (München Stadelheim, Stuttgart, Bruchsal, waren mit einer Mannhardt - Guillotine ausgestattet, oder zumindest einer, die in Bruchsal Mannhardt ähnelte. Es ist offensichtlich, daß die Bruchsal - Guillotine auf seine Bitte hin gefertigt wurde Reichhart diente lange Zeit als Scharfrichter am Wiener Landgericht, das mit einer Guillotine vom Typ Tegel ausgestattet war, die angeblich häufig versagte und Reichhart nicht mochte.
