Plot twist: this was never a torture device, it’s just a story of the inventor going “go on, admit it, it feels good, don’t it?” that got blown way out of proportion
A lot of dark ages torture devices are basically that, though. Plenty have no evidence of actual use and have a high probability of just being literary creations (like someone finding a SAW DVD in 2000 years)

was sometimes used during the thirty years’ war (1618 - 1648), so early modern age (again, sigh), not medieval age.
Of course it’s German.
Stop by the torture museum in Amsterdam if you really want to see what a clusterfuck of a species we are
AFAIK many of the torture devices are not historical but were created for amusement, such as these museums.
Was it worse going in or coming out? Did they make them eat it again? Was there more than one recipient per fecal vessel?
This guy tortures.
The important questions
Wouldn’t you just vomit it up immediately?
Yes. Most “medieval torture history” stuff is just creative writing exercises that get handed down for generations.
