    The pilgrims' destination was and is the Hülfenskreuz, the highly revered Romanesque cross from the middle of the
    12th century. It is probably the best known and most revered sacred work of art in the Erfurt diocese.
    The pilgrimage church was built between 1360 and 1367. Structural changes and expansions took place
    1890.(…v. information board)

      The Cross of Help is said to date back to the 11th century and was brought from the Holy Land by a knight. It is the reason why so many pilgrimages today lead to the mountain, which, incidentally, was also named after this cross.
