Kreuz von Saarburg, Wayside cross in Buhl-Lorraine, France.
The Kreuz von Saarburg stands at the intersection of rural paths, featuring a stone base and a metal cross structure reaching upward.
Established in 1875, this religious monument became a significant point during the Battle of Saarburg in August 1914, when artillery fire struck the cross.
The cross represents a traditional practice of marking important routes and intersections with religious symbols throughout the Moselle region of France.
Visitors can locate the cross at coordinates 48.7281297, 7.0684053, accessible via the main road through Buhl-Lorraine village.
