    According to legend, the first settlers of the Waldsassen monastery settled here on Schirndinger Strasse in the direction of Münchenreuth in 1127. Under Abbot Eugen Schmid (1724-44) a chapel and a hermitage were built here. In 1810, the buildings were demolished. The Gerwigkreis Waldsassen built this memorial in 1974 with stone and a double beam cross made of granite.

    Köllergrün should have been, according to a legend, the founding of the monastery Waldsassen.

    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.

    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.
