Alexanderstein, Medieval cross stone in Eldagsen, Germany
The Alexanderstein stands 114 centimeters tall, featuring carved equal-armed crosses on both sides of its sandstone structure with two smaller crosses on the shaft.
Dating from around 1200, this cross stone was originally placed near the gallows site along Landesstrasse 461 from Eldagsen to Alferde.
The stone represents medieval practices of erecting monuments for conflict resolution and peace agreements in the Lower Saxony region.
Visitors can find the cross stone on display at St. Alexandri Church in Eldagsen, where an information plaque explains its historical context.
After being stolen in 1981, the original stone resurfaced in Thuringen in 2009 and returned to Eldagsen in 2013, while a replica marks its initial location.
