Tips
The Kreuzkapelle is a small field chapel near the village of Fahr in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen in Bavaria.It is located on the county road KT 34 about 200 m from the eastern entrance to the village at an altitude of 208 m.At first there was a wayside shrine on the site of the small chapel, which was popularly known as the "White Marter". In 1727, the married couple Johann Adam and Margaretha Lutz from Fahr donated the small chapel. She was benedicted on April 16, 1728 by the parish priest Georg Adam Molitor.[1] In the past, the field rides of the then independent community were committed here.Up until at least 1983, it was customary for the Driver population to make pilgrimages to the chapel on May 3rd and September 14th, the feasts of the Finding and Exaltation of the Cross.Source: Wikipedia
