Her statue, made by descendant Marianne Lüdick in 1988, stands beside Jesuit Friedrich Spee’s, who condemned witch trials in 1631. Henot was officially rehabilitated in 2011.
Katharina also has a street and a school named after her. The 1989 movie ‘Die Hexe von Köln’ details her life. 🎥

On November 11, 1669, Grissel was found guilty. She was strangled and then burned at the stake. If you follow Peter Street to Seagate, you’ll come to a black “X” laid in cobblestones. That marks the exact place of her execution.

She is depicted with a raccoon and carrying a basket of rosemary, which represents her love for animals and nursing ability. The statue was created by Robert G. Cunningham in 2007, located by Sentara Bayside Hospital, near where she was imprisoned. There is also a plaque describing her trial.
