Story of the Angel Cross
It is not known when the cross was erected for the first time.
According to tradition, a pastor once walked across the meadow, it belonged to a farmer named ENGEL, it was free cattle farming and cattle grazed here. A bull was outraged by the disturbance and attacked the pastor. In his distress and full of trust in God, he held out his cross to the animal and lo and behold the animal stopped and spared the priest. For this reason, a cross was set up and because of what was happening on the meadow, it was called the Angel Cross.
In 1961, at the suggestion of Carl Söldner, Mr. Richard Felbermayer cut a sheet metal cross and the artist Rudolf Pleban painted the Corpus Christi on it. Dean Ludwig Hinnerth consecrated the cross.
Time and weather took their toll on the cross and it became unsightly. In 1974 the cross was renovated and Mr. Alois Ulram (father of Lotte Wolf) painted Christ crucified.
Since Mr. Neidhart had also copied and renovated the wayside shrine "Mary with the forest animals", also by Rudolf Pleban, on the Pfalzberg, he was asked to also take care of the angel cross.
