Translated by Lucie, Lady Duff Gordon
Mary Schweidler, the Amber Witch is a historical novel by Wilhelm Meinhold, published in the mid-19th century. Set during the 17th-century witch trials on the Island of Usedom, the story revolves around Maria Schweidler, a clergyman's daughter accused of witchcraft amidst the chaos of the Thirty Years War. The narrative is framed as a manuscript by her father, Abraham Schweidler, who seeks to document the tragic events and moral panic surrounding the trials. Notable for its exploration of superstition, faith, and the human cost of fear, this work is a poignant reflection on the darker aspects of society.

“Jacob Schwarten his wife heeded it not, but still plagued my child to give her her apron to make a christening coat for her baby, for that it was pity to let it be burnt, her goodman gave her such a thump on her back with a knotted stick which he had pulled out of the hedge that she fell down with loud shrieks; and when he went to help her up she pulled him down by his hair, and, as reverend Martinus said, now executed what she had threatened; inasmuch as she struck him on the nose with her fist with might and main, until the other people came running up to them, and held her back.””
