"In the name of the law!" - Criminal law in olden times 

That there is a torture chamber in Regensburg - correctly expressed: an "Fragstatt" - is common knowledge. That it has something to do with the legal system, and in fact with a legal system that is extremely cruel and inhumane by today's standards, is also well known.
