Der Beruf des Scharfrichters entstand im Spätmittelalter und war bis ins 19. Jahrhundert ein wichtiges Amt im Dienst der Regierung. Der Scharfrichter war nicht nur für Hinrichtungen, sondern auch für Körperstrafen und Folter zuständig. Gewöhnlich hatte er auch das Abdeckerwesen unter sich; zudem betätigte er sich oft als Arzt. Rechtlich und sozial bildeten die Scharfrichter eine isolierte Kaste, aus der auszubrechen schwierig war. Die Autoren beschreiben auf der Basis umfangreicher genealogischer Forschungen den Beruf des Scharfrichters und geben erstmals einen Überblick über das schweizerische Scharfrichterwesen und die dieses Amt ausübenden Dynastien. Sie schildern das Alltagswerk und die Lebensumstände dieses Berufsstandes, wobei Zürich den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet. Seit dem 16. Jahrhundert führte die gesellschaftliche und rechtliche Isola­tion zur Bildung von Scharfrichterdynastien – in Zürich waren dies zunächst das Geschlecht der Grossholz, dann das der Volmar, die jeweils Strategien ent­wickelten, um für ihre Nachkommen die Stellung zu erhalten und auszubauen. Einem Zweig der Familie Volmar gelang es, die Scharfrichterkaste zu verlassen und unter dem Namen «Steinfels» – trotz zahlreicher Rück­schläge – Teil des Zürcher Bürgertums zu werden. Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts war die soziale Stellung der Familie gesichert und damit die Basis für den Aufstieg im Industriezeitalter gelegt.

Wouldn’t recommend these sandals.
I was really excited to try the Steve Madden Women's Wafer Heeled Sandals, but unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the quality. The sandals look great in photos, but when I received them, I noticed that the materials felt cheap and not as durable as I expected from a brand like Steve Madden. The straps are stiff, and they rubbed against my skin, causing discomfort after only a short amount of time. The fit also wasn’t great — they felt a bit tight, especially around the toes, which made them hard to wear for longer periods. While the heel height is cute, the overall construction doesn’t seem to provide enough support, which made walking in them less comfortable than I anticipated. For the price, I expected better quality and comfort. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend these sandals.

Perfect black patent leather heel
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Patent
Definitely go up an entire size in these. I used to work at Steve Madden and can tell you with 100% confidence if you're ever buying one of their heels with a pointier toe, you need to go up an entire size or your foot is going to suffer. These are a perfect "high" stiletto, they're definitely not low and I wouldn't say they're a breeze to walk in unless you're used to heels. I will vouch for how comfortable they are though given the height and the shape - they're as comfortable as a heel like this could be for sure! If you have skinnier ankles, definitely recommend punching an extra hole in the strap.

toe strap is tewww tight
Size: 8, Color: Black
I love the look of these heels, they’re super classy, elegant, simple, and most importantly I chose these because of the small platform at the base of the heel for a less painful experience. The onlyyyyyy issue I have is that the toe strap is so close to the front and tight (as you can see)!! I got the correct size but wish I didn’t have to stretch them out (which is almost impossible because that leather is stiff). The shoe is not very bendable but I personally like it because the shoe is sturdy.

Poor Quality for the Cost !!! Dissatisfied
Disappointed Durability. I love these heels they are very comfortable looks good with just about any color outfit . However, my heart ripped in pieces after 3 months with limited wear they began to lift and fall apart . I’m very dissatisfied with the cost & poor quality slippers I received. I wish I could actually returned it but couldn’t due to the 30 days return policy.

Steve Madden must have
Size: 7.5, Color: Black
You can’t go wrong with any Steve Madden shoe to be honest. These are sexy yet sturdy. Nice thin versatile heel. Strap length is good for any size ankle really
