Steinernes Kreuz, Stone memorial cross near Eschbach reservoir in Remscheid, Germany.
The stone cross stands near the former Cologne-Dortmund military road, featuring weathered inscriptions carved into its robust surface.
The memorial cross dates to 1554, commemorating Josef Weizel through an inscription that marks the location of his reported incident.
The stone cross functions as a meeting point where local residents gather for community events and share stories about regional heritage.
Visitors can reach the cross through walking paths connecting to the Jakobsweg pilgrimage route and the Eschbach reservoir trails.
The memorial contains an inscription that researchers debate could actually indicate the year 1509 instead of the commonly accepted 1554.
