The wayside shrine from 1699, restored in 1999, commemorates the terrible plague during the Thirty Years' War. Only one resident of the village of Rothmannsthal survived the scourge of humanity. The inscription on the sandstone column "PANCRATIUS HACKer has brought this wayside shrine here" suggests that the plague survivor himself or a descendant had this torment erected out of gratitude.
