Kreuz von Saarburg, Wayside cross in Buhl-Lorraine, France.

The Kreuz von Saarburg is a wayside cross in Buhl-Lorraine consisting of a stone base and a stone figure of Christ; the wooden cross beams were destroyed in 1914. The bronze-colored figure, with a draped loincloth and feet overlapping, stands upright on a rough stone base. The base also holds a statue of the Immaculate Conception.

The cross was donated in 1875 by Nicolaus and Margarete Schiwi (née Fillinger) of Buhl, as recorded on its base. On 20 August 1914, during the Battle of Sarrebourg, a shell tore away the wooden cross; only the stone figure of Christ remained standing on the base. The monument has been kept in that state, without its cross, and a memorial stone was later placed beside it.

The cross became known as the "Cross of Saarburg" after 1914, and its image spread on postcards, prints and devotional pictures. Because Bavarian troops fought at Saarburg, the motif was embroidered on veterans' flags, including that of Mühlheim an der Eis, now in Grünstadt. The Lorraine poet August Schmidlin wrote a song about it in German and French, singable to "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden".

The cross stands at a rural crossroads in Buhl-Lorraine accessible from the village on foot. Being located in open countryside, the site is accessible at any time without restrictions.

The stone figure stayed upright on its base after the wooden cross was shot away on 20 August 1914; a metal rod behind it gave support, though most published images retouched the rod out. The base also holds a statue of the Immaculate Conception.
