    The cross was rebuilt on the Marienberg in the year of Christ 1997. The body of Christ comes from a vow cross that a master painter had erected on Kreuzberg near Hallstadt as a thank you for his liberation from the Dachau concentration camp. He was able to experience: “In the cross there is salvation, in the cross there is life, in the cross there is hope!”

      The Christ is a carving from 1950 by Oberammergau. In gratitude for the liberation from the Dachau concentration camp.

        The surroundings of the former NatStützpunkt with this traditional cross are unusual.
