After the end of World War II, members of the Kolping Family Marktredwitz erected an atonement cross for the fallen soldiers. The way up there is lined with granite steles, on each of which there are a few lines of the Our Father in German and Czech - the last two lines are on the stile that stands next to the cross on the mountain.
The cross is illuminated at night and thus warns the viewer to pause for a brief moment of reflection and silence.

The cross on the 24th. This is what we said about the 24th Örterstein. As a little boy I was often up there. Unfortunately, the trees are now very tall and you can no longer enjoy the view that much. But I always enjoy going back there.
