Kadaň - Conciliation Cross 0747

Information

Visited:30. 9. 2021

History:This propitiatory cross was created for me unknown when, by whom and where. According to one source, the local peace crosses were moved to their present location from the local area. However, if this was the case, then they must have been moved in the late 19th century, as Wilhelm mentions all the crosses at this location in 1903. According to legend, these are Swedish crosses, and another legend states that victims of the wars of the 13th and 15th centuries were buried here. The last legend states that Austrian and Prussian soldiers clashed on this place on 20 April 1758 and their mass graves are here. Whatever the truth, this cross has not survived in its original form and is only a relief of the original cross. On the cross there is a remnant of a relief of either a cross or a sword. The remains of the reconciliation cross are 29 cm high, 41 cm wide and 18 cm thick.
