Hiking

Christian Jansen died in a fire in 1872 in the area of "Loheschlag," near the present-day location of the cross on the Getzbach stream. He was likely working there in the timber or forestry sector. A later newspaper report describes the event as a "fatal fire" and clearly connects the location where the victim was found with the present-day Christian Jansen Cross. The cause of the fire and whether Jansen was alone at the scene are unknown.

Very nice memorial cross with the information board:
In memory of Christian Jansen from Rollesbroich, who died here on July 27, 1872 as a result of a fire.

One of the many beautiful old memorial crosses that one encounters again and again in the Venn.
