    The Coesfeld "Große Kreuzweg" leads over the Brink. It is the oldest completely preserved system of its kind in Westphalia.

    The founder was Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen. In his report of 1660 to Pope Alexander VII, he goes into greater detail on the Coesfeld cross costume.
    Then as now, this cross procession casts a spell over many believers every year.


    In order to change the physically very strenuous path in favor of increased devotion, the bishop had the Way of the Cross, still in use today, built and decorated with the Stations of the Cross and the two chapels (Large Chapel / Small Chapel).
    The foundation stone of the two chapels was laid in his presence on August 2, 1659.


    The large chapel is on the Brink, the small chapel in Sirksfeld.
