    In the vicinity of the cross under a beautiful linden tree there is the also worth seeing vantage point "at the Red Cross" - with a picnic table. Here you have a view of the Königsstuhl near Heidelberg.

      The "Red Cross" was established in 1800. According to the initials, a married couple has thus kept a religious promise. In 1909, during a restoration, the original text was covered with plaster and only exposed again in 1978. In 2016 the cross was repaired again.

        “Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads have been erected as visible signs and attract the looks 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 overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise to God. "
        (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
        in: “Wegekrossze. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")
