The chained joseph süß oppenheimer is taken to the gallows on the flayer's cart. A true representation of the execution and the spectacle outside of stuttgart to the court square, where the jew süß was brought down from the master's house at half past eight and brought on the flayer's cart (which he had made for his broken horses) and placed on a raised seat made of rough boards and slats, on which a cushion lined with hay, resembling an armchair, was placed almost by force, and led across the square through the school street and the leper's gate to the high court. First rode the st lord town vogt, accompanied by a company of burg cavalry, but on either side of the jew in two rows 100 grenadiers with fixed bayonets, on the cart next to the jew sat two schinder's servants, each holding a jug of wine without a lid in their hand, who repeatedly asked him if he wanted to drink, but he replied that they should just drive on, they were only making fun of him. The crowd of spectators both inside and outside the city was extraordinarily large, so that many a stranger paid 1 ducat or more to a window where he was being led past. 1.
