    The grouped cross stones go back to the 11th to 13th centuries. These are atonement crosses that were made by the perpetrators in the case of murder and by the bereaved in the case of accidents. All stones were found along the Harster Heerweg.

      “Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.

      So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”

      (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

      in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

        The Bührer Kreuzstein group is the most important monument of its kind in Lower Saxony.

        The cross stones were not only about atonement and remembrance, but at the same time the living were asked to pray for the poor souls who had died without receiving the ecclesiastical sacraments.
