!!!Prügelstrafe Whipping was a standardised punishment for certain crimes according to historical penal codes. Whipping was abolished in 1848 for civilians; a general ban followed in 1867. The military penal codes of 1855 introduced a new regulation for whipping, which was practised in modified form until the end of the Monarchy. !Literature S.
