De
Mathes vu Miedernach war een aarmen Doléiner, an fir mat senger Fra
an sengen zwee klengen Kanner iwert d’Ronnen ze kommen, huet
hien enges Daags eng kleng Zomm Suen geklaut. Wéi d’Suen bei
him fonnt ginn sinn, an de Mathes sein Fehler agesinn huet, wollt
hien dem Besëtzer seng Suen perséinlech zréckginn. Mee
d’Justiz wollt en Exempel statuéieren an den aarmen Mathes
huet seng Dot mat sengem Liewen bezuelt. Per Feudalgesetz gouf hien
den 2. August 1793 op dëser Plaz als leschten Lëtzebuerger mam
Gaalgen higeriicht.

Mathes from
Medernach was a poor day laborer and to survive with his wife and
his two young children, he stole one day a small sum of money. When
the money was found next to him, Mathes realized his mistake and
wanted to return the money personally to it’s owner. But
justice wanted to make an example of poor Mathes and he paid for
his crime with his life. By feudal law, he was the last
Luxembourger to get hanged on August 2nd, 1793, at this
place.
It's an easy
Drive-in.
