At the event, ten people were thrown out of the window: the mayor, two councillors, an aide of the judge, five elders, and a serf. Falling out of the window usually did not kill them. The crowd used blunt weapons to kill those that had fallen. One councillor died while he was being tortured. Johann von Seelau had planned the uprising. In 1960, a statue was put in front of the town hall to commemorate the Jan von Seelau.
