Legendary Stone Cross of Breitau

Highlight • Monument

There is a legend about the approximately 1 meter high limestone cross with a chiseled woodcutter's ax. Published in 1950 in the book of legends and fairy tales “Rund um den Alheimer”: The eldest sons of two families from Breitau and Ulfen lived in strife, partly because of business envy, because both earned extra income with pension services and partly because they were in one and the same girl were in love. The two rivals and the boys from both villages got into a violent argument at the fair, so that the neighborly peace between Breitau and Ulfen was now poisoned. One night, after fetching wood, the two opponents met with their carts on the country road, neither evaded, instead they chased the horses against each other, seized their axes, jumped from their wagons and killed each other. The pastor refused to give them a Christian burial after this bloody act; they were buried on the spot. The two fathers shook hands over the grave of their children in reconciliation. In memory of that gruesome act they placed this atonement cross. Both places were released from their curse and found peace and quiet again.

A historic half-timbered house located directly on the main village street, which has been very well restored and is a real eye-catcher.

In the early 1990s, as part of the village renewal, the Anger was redesigned based on its historical model. A stone block circle serves as the walling. An Angerlinde, surrounded by four chestnut trees in the flowering colors red and white (like the Hessian state colors), was planted. The appealing place on the Netra-Bach is located directly on the approx. 110 km long Herkules-Wartburg cycle path and invites you to linger, boards provide information about the local hiking trails. Together with the new bakery built in 2002 and the Gänsekerle monument created in 2007, it characterizes the townscape today.
