Tips

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses [here in the form of a memorial cross] were erected as visible signs and attract the attention 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 has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

The cross commemorates the death of Heinrich Küpper, a citizen of Dahlem, who is said to have died in a fire in 1845. (board suburb)

The Eifelverein Dahlem obviously maintains the wayside and memorial crosses and has attached small explanatory text boards there. Here it says: "This cross commemorates the death of the Dahlem citizen Heinrich Küpper, who is said to have died in a fire in 1845." However, the photos stored on komoot for this highlight show two different wooden crosses that are not too far apart (less than a hundred meters) from each other: This memorial cross for Heinrich Küpper (wooden cross with a large body) and another (wooden cross with a comparatively small body) , which commemorates the imperial Rittmeister Franziskus Volle.
