Well poisoning is the act of malicious manipulation of potable water resources in order to cause illness or death, or to deny an opponent access to fresh water resources. Well poisoning has been historically documented as a strategy during wartime since antiquity, and was used both offensively (as a terror tactic to disrupt and depopulate a target area) and defensively (as a scorched earth tactic to deny an invading army sources of clean water). Rotting corpses (both animal and human) thrown down wells were the most common implementation; in one of the earliest examples of biological warfare, corpses known to have died from common transmissible diseases of the Pre-Modern era such as bubonic plague or tuberculosis were especially favored for well-poisoning.

  • Als Brunnenvergiftung bezeichnet man die absichtliche Verunreinigung des lebensnotwendigen Grund- und Trinkwassers mit gesundheitsgefährdenden Schad- und Giftstoffen aller Art. Dies galt schon in der Antike, als trinkbares Wasser in Städten und Dörfern meist nur durch Brunnen zugänglich war, als schweres, die Allgemeinheit betreffendes Verbrechen und steht in Deutschland als Gewässerverunreinigung unter Strafe. Der Vorwurf der Brunnenvergiftung ist seit dem Mittelalter eines der beliebtesten antisemitischen Stereotype und diente insbesondere zu Zeiten der Großen Pest von 1347 bis 1350 der Legitimation von Judenverfolgungen.

  • A lenda do envenenamento dos poços derivou-se de uma acusação antissemita originada no século XIV, o mesmo da peste negra. Os judeus eram acusados em várias cidades da Europa de serem a causa das doenças e de envenenarem os poços de água, causando as mortes. Foram vítimas de pogroms. Cerca de 60 grandes cidades com comunidades judaicas e 150 comunidades judaicas menores foram vítimas de ataques. Casas foram queimadas, ocupantes foram mortos e também houve tortura. (pt)
