Sieben-Trappen-Steine, Medieval cross stones in Benthe, Ronnenberg, Germany.
Eight stone crosses stand together near a lime tree, each displaying distinct crosses carved on both front and back surfaces of varying heights and widths.
The first written record of these stones dates to 1474, mentioned as 'bey den syven crucen', marking their presence in the medieval landscape of Lower Saxony.
These stone markers served as judicial monuments where local courts held proceedings, reminding defendants to maintain honesty during legal proceedings.
The monuments are located next to the Nenndorf road, accessible through public transportation or private vehicles from the surrounding areas of Hanover.
Despite being named Seven Trappen Stones, the collection actually consists of eight crosses, moved to their current location in 1978 for protection from traffic damage.
