Anna Maria Konradt

"Anna Maria, [the] wife of Georg The Elder, became openly sympathetic to Luther's Teachings. Luther was associated with the devil. [So] rumor quickly spread through the village that Maria Conrad was a witch! You can image what Maria's reaction to this

accusation [would have been]. During the great witch trials of Europe, Maria, like so many

other innocent women was given a trial and found guilty of being a witch.

Many people gathered in the community to witness the great event, which

would take place next... [After she was tortured three times,] she was tied up in the village and burned at the stake! It was believed that a mortal could not [survive being burned alive]. Well, Maria did just that! She survived the burning, much to the shock of the villagers. [R]ecords show it wouldhave been better for her had she died [because she was]... locked away in a cell. So, was Maria [really] a witch? It is believed that Georg The Elder bribed the guards, because Maria mysteriously escaped from her cell and fled to the village of Grosheubach where she could not be tried since it was a different principality and under different kings. Maria would never visit Kleinheubach again. She was the last woman of the village to be accused of witchcraft in Kleinheubach. Ironically she died on Christ's birthday, 1646! Her son Burkhardt became the sexton of the village. In English that means he was the bell ringer."

The rest of her family (i.e. father, mother, siblings), was burned at the stake for heresy/witchcraft as well. (http://www.downhome.top-ereviews.com/lutherans.html)
