In Eichsfeld there are numerous wayside shrines, corridor crosses and small chapels along the way. Belief in God is deeply rooted here. Most people are catholic. Not even Martin Luther could change that.
Against the trend of the times, people joined the Counter-Reformation in the 16th century. Since then, Eichsfeld has been a Catholic enclave in a Protestant environment.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")
