Minheimer Kreuz, Crucifixion group in Minheim, Germany.
The Minheimer Kreuz stands prominently on a steep slope by the Moselle River, featuring a crucifixion group with a memorial chapel at the end of a Way of the Cross.
Local citizens erected this monument during the National Socialist period in 1936 as a direct response to the removal of crucifixes from classrooms in the village school.
Every year on May 1st at 7:00 AM, the Minheim Music Association performs church songs at the cross, reaching throughout the entire village with their melodies.
Visitors can reach the crucifixion group by following a narrow path that winds through the forest for half a kilometer, ascending 90 meters to reach the rocky edge.
The site creates a visual alignment with the church towers of Piesport and Minheim, forming what locals call the Three Church Tower View.
