    A very well-preserved crossroad from 1660 in the new Kelberg development area.

      “Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect ‘their’ cross in this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible symbols 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 overcame death (...). The cross belongs to our lives, just as it did to the life of Jesus.

      Thus, I hope that many people will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and respite before God, or as places for community gatherings, prayer, and praise of God.”
