    "Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect 'their' cross at this spot. (...) 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 aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is a part of our lives, just as it was a part of the life of Jesus. Therefore, I hope that many people... will seek out the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and respite before God, or as places of community gathering, prayer, and praise."
    (Dean Rainald M. Ollig in "Wayside Crosses... Small Sacred Monuments as Signs of Popular Piety," Alfter 2014)

      Nice point to enjoy the vastness of the landscape. Unfortunately there is no bank nearby

        The cross is part of several on this dirt road. Is very massive on the intersection, impressive.
