    Three stone crosses, sandstone, late medieval; north of the
    Altschauerberg/Neuschauerberg road fork


    Atonement cross or murder cross is the name given to a stone wayside cross that was erected to atone for a murder or manslaughter that had been committed. Atonement crosses are atonement stones in the shape of a cross. Atonement crosses were usually located on paths and crossroads. Weapons (crossbow, axe or similar) are carved into some stone crosses, possibly the murder weapons.

    Who knows whether the crosses have always stood there in threes?
