On April 28th, 2023, the new Cross of Peace was blessed with an ecumenical service on the leisure area at the Pirmasenser Eisweiher. The Peace Cross is a sign of gratitude for Franco-German reconciliation after the Second World War.

In line with tradition, the two wooden beams on the new cross also come from forests in Lorraine and the Southwest Palatinate.
