Blumenkreuz Memorial
Highlight • Monument
Far away from all the hiking trails that are popular today, but on the historic Halfenstrasse (Trier - Merzig - the Halfen used this way back when they brought a ship down the Saar to Trier) is the "flower cross". Another legend reports its origin; The customer tells a second story about the reason for its renovation. The base of the flower cross, an elongated block of sandstone, bears the inscription: Flower / n Creu / tz, given by Nicolas Gottdan / g in Merzieg in 1845. A Merziger named Nickolaus Gottdang, who had done business in Trier, came pale one morning and disturbed in Merzig. There was only one thing to get out of him that something horrible had happened to him at the flower cross; no one could find out what it was, for he persistently kept silent about it; soon afterwards death shut his mouth, he had not been able to overcome the gruesome experience. Shortly before his death, he had the dilapidated flower cross - in memory of the terrible night - repaired and erected again.
