[DE] "Gedenkkreuz der Sophiengemeinde
Für den Ausbau des Grenzstreifens wurden etwa 1000 Gräber umgebettet. Möglicherweise wurden Sammelgräber mit Bombenopfern des Zweiten Weltkrieges nicht exhumiert und die Grenzanlagen über den Gräbern errichtet. An sie erinnert dieses Kreuz."

Approximately a thousend graves had to be moved when the border strip was developed. It is, however, possible that the graves of World War II bomb victims were not exhumed and that the border grounds were built over the graves.This cross commemorates them."
