Unknown persons have wilfully destroyed the “Five-Wound Cross” presumably with a chisel before November the 17th, 2020. A skull on the trunk of the cross was knocked out of the sandstone cross with great effort. Subsequently, the perpetrators removed the gold-plated cooper’s insignia from the listed baroque base and stole it. The police have instituted criminal proceedings and are asking witnesses who can give details of the incident or the perpetrators to report to the police in Edenkoben by calling 06323 9550.
