The "summit cross" is actually not a summit cross in the true sense, but the "returnee cross". It commemorates those who returned home at the end of the Second World War and of course also all those who did not come home.

The returnee cross at the Brandstadl. Excised since 1951 and commemorates those who returned home at the end of the Second World War; and of course also to those who didn't come back.
