This cross commemorates the 1,378 km border between East and West.
The cross points from the earth to the sky, its crossbeam connects East and West.
Next to it is a rest area and a beautiful large old tree (natural monument).

On the west side, just below the ruins,
from the spot under the old linden tree, you have a view over Lauchröden

This cross reminds us of the 1378km border between East and West.
It divided families, places, an entire people and claimed many victims.
The cross points from the earth to heaven, its crossbeam connects East and West.
