Seven Stations Wayside Shrine Höchberg

Highlight • Monument

How the wayside shrine was created is unknown. Presumably a citizen of Höchberg donated it out of pious sentiments. When a Prussian army slaughterhouse bivouacked on the site in 1866, the wayside shrine was overturned. When re-erecting it got a crooked position, which many Höchberger remember. In 1925, the Höchberg e.V. beautification association set up a bank donated by master carpenter Hieronymus Feineis. Since the wayside shrine was already badly weathered, the original was dismantled in 1975 and replaced in 1981 by a faithful copy made by Rudolf Weidmann. On May 1st, the board of the beautification association presented the copy to the population in pouring rain.
Exactly twelve years later, on May 1st 1993, the wayside shrine had to be restored again. A year earlier, strangers willfully destroyed the almost 200-year-old wayside shrine.
The original, whose shaft and double-sided relief are made of sandstone, is now housed in the walls of the special school at Karwinkel. The relief had been painted over with color several times.
