    Impressive cross on the Hühnerberg from 1945

    Translated by Google •

      September 29, 2024

      The Peace Cross is the largest cross in Lommersdorf and stands on the Hühnerberg (525m above sea level). It was erected in 1945 as a thank you for the gracious preservation of the homeland during the Second World War from 1939 to 1945. A light, sealed glass bottle was cast into the concrete foundation below the cross. Inside are name cards from all the children and adults present.

      Due to the effects of the weather, the cross was replaced twice over the years (1967/2010) and renovated several times. The wall around the cross was built free of charge by the local population. Source: Information board on site and lommersdorf.de/historisches-lommersdorf-l1/historische-sehenswuerdigkeiten
