The blood-red painted wooden martyrdom dates from the 19th century. No one knows for sure who donated the statue or why it was erected, but there are many stories surrounding the legendary monument in the forest at Vogelherd. The original image probably dates from 1840. The depiction is dedicated to the Holy Family. It shows the House of Nazareth with Mary, Joseph and Jesus in their private surroundings after returning to their hometown - preceded by the flight to Egypt and seven years of asylum. The image is set in a frame made of galvanized steel. The Red Martyrdom is a listed monument.
