“Wegekreuz” Horni Brusnice, Czech Republic
In Bohemia you’ll find them by the side of the road. These mementos of a forgotten era. Take your time to carefully read what was written there for the age to come. But hurry, for they will not be readable much longer.
“Wenn Ich einst von dieser Erde”
“Vor’s Gericht gerufen werde”
“Nimm Dich alsdann meiner an”
“Führ dem Richter zu Gemühte”
“Was am Kreuze seiner Güte”
“Für uns Sünder hat gethan”
poet unknown.
In Germany an initiative to restore these beautiful “Wegekreuzen” and other markers of the Sudeti-German population in the Czech Republic comes from “Heimatpflegerin der Sudetendeutschen” http://www.sudetendeutsche-heimatpflege.de
