At this place you can rest in front of an old pump.
Opposite is a wayside cross on the house wall and towards the south there is a funny frog as a mailbox.

Village Well

Highlight • Structure

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)

War Memorial Chapel Eggersheim

Highlight • Religious Site

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, anew for each generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace

Eggersheim Mill (Historic Watermill)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Eggersheimer Mühle is privately owned. Here, opposite the playground, a plaque commemorates the old mill, whose buildings have now been renovated and are a few hundred meters south of here. The mill stream and the interior of the mill itself no longer exist.

You can find more information on the board.

Wayside Cross

Highlight • Monument

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")
