Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unter Mördern, Dieben, Dirnen: Schuld und Sühne in der frühen NeuzeitFrantz Schmidt tötete fast 400 Menschen, unzählige weitere hat er gefoltert oder verstümmelt. Und doch war er am Ende seines Lebens ein angesehener Mann. Ungewöhnlich ist nicht nur der Lebensweg des Meister Frantz, der im 16. Jahrhundert in Nürnberg als Henker arbeitete, sondern auch, dass er Tagebuch schrieb. Der Historiker Joel Harrington hat dieses einmalige Zeugnis nun erstmals umfassend ausgewertet und gibt in seinem packenden Buch seltene Einblicke in das Leben, Denken und Fühlen der Menschen am Beginn der Neuzeit.Das Handwerk des Tötens hatte Frantz Schmidt von seinem Vater gelernt, doch sein Leben lang strebte er danach, dem unehrenhaften Stand des Henkers zu entfliehen. Als Scharfrichter in Nürnberg waren es vor allem die Kriminellen, die Außenseiter und Pechvögel, mit denen er in Kontakt kam, der Zugang zur ehrbaren Gesellschaft blieb ihm lange verwehrt. Über seine grausame Arbeit hat Meister Frantz über 45 Jahre lang Buch geführt und der Nachwelt damit eine höchst ungewöhnliche Quelle hinterlassen. Basierend auf dem Tagebuch und anhand umfangreicher Forschung gelingt es Joel Harrington meisterhaft, das Leben des Frantz Schmidt in all seinen Facetten und Widersprüchen zu schildern. Er erzählt damit nicht nur eine faszinierende Lebensgeschichte, sondern erschließt uns zugleich eine Epoche, in der die Welt sich zur Moderne wandelt.
