    Erected by pilgrims to commemorate the opening of the border. This made the pilgrimage route shorter.

      This small sacred monument, carved from wood and resting on a brick base, depicts the body of the crucified Christ and the INRI inscription above his head. In Latin letters (i.e., our J as I), this is the abbreviation for "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." Above it, a protective roof rises in a semicircle. The intention behind the erection of this crucifix is truly global: the fall of the so-called "Iron Curtain," which served as an ideological and military barrier for decades after the Second World War, and the opening of the border on the path to German reunification.
