In 2022, two Lichtenberg natives, Jörg and Sven, had a special idea: they wanted to revive an old local legend – the legend of the "Light on the Mountain." This tale, passed down from generation to generation for centuries, was deeply intertwined with the history of Lichtenberg and its surroundings.

Inspired by this somber legend, Jörg and Sven decided to create a symbol of hope and light. They planned to erect a new summit cross on the mountain that would glow at night, just like the light in the windows of the old legend. But this light would no longer spread fear, but rather inspire hope. Two chimes are also mounted in the center of the cross, which, played by the wind, carry peaceful sounds down into the valley.

Opposite the cross is a new selfie stand, perfect for taking a selfie.
