Torture device called an Eiserne Jungfrau in German (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

iron maiden

(Other definitions for iron maiden that I've seen before include "used to inflict pain" , "a suit, very sharp underneath the surface" , "Box-shaped instrument of torture - no meridian (anag)" , "Group" , "Instrument of torture (a hinged case lined with spikes)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
