Every "Calvary", like here in Prüm, is reminiscent of "Golgotha" ("skull height") near Jerusalem, the place of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Often a way of the cross with the - nowadays usually 14 - stations leads up the mountain or hill, early medieval forerunners only had 7 stations and were sometimes also referred to as the "Walk to the Seven Footfalls". In some areas of Germany, after the 14th station, the burial of Jesus, another station follows: The resurrection of Jesus Christ. These 15-station crossroads broaden the perspective of the Easter hope perspective of overcoming death and suffering.

The Rhenish Way of St. James, coming from Cologne and leading to Trier, is designed in such a way that the pilgrim on the long route repeatedly reaches the Calvary Mountains or Stations of the Cross, which are a good occasion for a little contemplative rest.

Very beautiful little chapel below the explosion crater. It was built in 1988.
