The late medieval stone cross is badly weathered and its origins are unknown. But there is a legend from the Reformation time connected with it, which is described on a metal plaque.

Unfortunately the stone cross, which reminds of a fatally injured pastor, is very weathered.

Stone cross between Bockwen and Reichenbach.

Information:

Here, the Catholic priest died in an accident following a competition. A legend tells of a Catholic and a Protestant priest who, during the Reformation, competed for the parish in Naustadt. The position went to the winner.
