The Waldsassener honor in Köllergrün until today a meaningful meeting, with the margrave Diepold III. from Vohburg in Köllergrün the hermit Gerwig von Wolmundstein should have met. Gerwig is said to have retreated to solitude in the Nordwald with companions. Gerwig and Diepold recognized themselves as former friends again. Gerwig is said to have nearly killed Diepold at a tournament earlier. He was so appalled that he went to atonement in the Benedictine monastery Siegburg near Cologne.

A chapel and a hermitage were built here under Abbot Eugen Schmid (1724-44). In 1810 the building was demolished again. The Gerwig district of Waldsassen erected this memorial in 1974 with stone and a double-beam cross made of granite.
Can be reached by car heading out of town in the direction of Cheb, then further in the direction of Münchenreuth - directly on the road on the right. Or via hiking trail no. 2.
