    Legend about the origin of the crosses:

    ins-erzgebirge.de/Drei-Kreuze
    Translated by
    They came into being
    most likely between the end of the 15th century and the introduction of the Reformation in 1537. At that time
    A large number of religious places of worship were built in Freiberg. ...
    It is considered likely that the three crosses emerged as a god symbol for the miners who passed there
    ran along the Häuersteig to their pits. They saw the crosses every day and knew God was around them.
