A long time ago, two poor Bischberg boys went begging out of necessity. In the evening they wanted to share the money they had raised fairly. They got into such a fight over a penny that they got into a fight and eventually they both died. As a reminder and reminder of this, a torture was erected at this point, which was replaced by the current one around 1900.

Long ago, two poor boys from Bischberg went begging out of necessity. In the evening, they wanted to divide the money they had earned fairly. Over a single penny left over, they argued so fiercely that they beat each other and both died. As a memorial and warning of this event, a wayside shrine was erected on this spot, which was replaced around 1900 by the current one.

Wayside shrine with seating and mostly rubbish bin filled with dog waste bags (can't you throw your dog's dirt into the trash can? Exactly opposite!) At the Bischberg-Rothof-Weipelsdorf intersection.
