EN: This cross is hidden in a curve on the northern edge of Blauen.

It consists of light limestone and has a copper-colored Jesus figure, which was probably attached later, as it covers the date on the crossbar. Therefore, the last digit can not be deciphered: 1840, 46 or 48 would be possible.

DE: Dieses Kreuz steht etwas versteckt in einer Kurve am Nordrand von Blauen.

Es besteht aus hellem Kalkstein und hat eine kupferfarbene Jesus-Figur, die wohl erst später angebracht wurde, da sie die Datierung auf dem Querbalken überdeckt. Deshalb lässt sich die letzte Ziffer auch nicht entziffern: 1840, 46 oder 48 wären möglich.
