Wolfskreuz, Stone wayside cross in Kottenforst Forest, Germany.
The Wolfskreuz stands between Röttgen and Villiprott districts along Villiper Allee, featuring wolf paw prints and the Wolff-Metternich family coat of arms.
Franz Joseph Graf Wolff-Metternich zu Gracht, an Electoral Chamberlain and Privy Councillor, commissioned this cross during the 18th century in Bonn.
The cross displays religious symbols including a lamb representing resurrection, alongside the emblem of the Teutonic Order and the count's monogram.
Located at coordinates 50.659173 latitude and 7.078691 longitude, the cross includes nearby seating facilities for visitors exploring the forest paths.
Four distinct wolf paw prints adorn this stone monument, connecting it to the Wolff-Metternich lineage through both imagery and name.
