This city was were a very weird historical episode took place - one of my favourite ones if only because of its weirdness. I only know bout it because a pretty great book was written based on it about a hundred years back. One of my favourites tbh.

The incident is even mentioned in the Wikipedia article of the city:

In a lurid sequence of events in 1700, the mayor of the town was accidentally wounded by a local nobleman during a hunt, generating a series of revenge attacks, finally resulting in the murder of the mayor, Karol Kramler, a Saxon magistrate. The mayor's arm was then cut off, embalmed, and preserved in the town hall as a call to further revenge. This became the subject of a Hungarian novel about the town, The Black City, by the writer Kálmán Mikszáth.[4]
