At the entrance to Leerstetten, at the junction with Brunnenstrasse, this commemorative cross is located south of the bus stop in the direction of Schwand.

It is reported that a Badersfrau Göttingen, who had traded in juniper oil in Schwand (she peddled - as they used to say), was "struck" on the way to Nuremberg. She died suddenly.

This is reported to us by Johann Georg Mayer in the legends from Roth and the surrounding area in the Heimatblatt for history (No. 10. 1931 and No. 11. 1932).

Beautifully designed station of the "Gedenksteinweg" in Schwanstetten. At the "Göttingen Memorial Cross" there is a plaque that explains the background to the stone cross well. It is reported that the Badersfrau Göttingen, who had traded in Schwand with juniper oil (she peddled - as was said earlier), was hit by "blow" on the way to Nuremberg. She died suddenly here.

There is always something humble about these ancient crossroads.
