This wayside shrine is located at the foot of the Büchelberg, at the beginning of the uphill trail.
What was the reason to set up such a memorial?

A wayside shrine, “something protruding upwards”, is a small religious monument, a pillar made of wood or stone that usually stands on paths and carries a sculptural or painted votive or devotional image.

In the Alpine countries the establishment and maintenance of wayside shrines and martyrs is a widespread form of popular piety. The motivation is similar to that of the crossroads: as an impetus for prayer on the way, as a token of gratitude for overcoming dangers or epidemics and as a reminder of accidents.

Wayside shrines are made of wood, stone or masonry. Often flowers are laid down or candles are burned at them. Another name for a wayside shrine is a broad pillar or a prayer column.
