Outside the medieval cities was the place of execution of death sentences, the Henkersberg. In Meersburg this was the Trielberg, which offers a wonderful view of Lake Constance and the surrounding countryside. The neighboring Siechenweiher used to be a place of isolation and quarantine for people suffering from infectious diseases. During the plague period, this was the area of lepers.
