Tips

🇦🇹 "AUT-Door" - Daniel 🇦🇹

May 2, 2022

Nice to look at, but calling it a highlight is a bit exaggerated.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect “their” cross at this spot. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus.

So I hope that many people ... will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God.”

(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

in: “Wayside crosses... small sacred monuments as signs of popular piety”)

The cross was built in 1880 by the master forester and baker Johann Ritter. In 1980 it was renovated by the baker family Josef Ritter
