SANDSTEIN - 90 cm hoch - 68 cm breit und 25 cm dick
Steinkreuze sind die Zeugen aus vergangener Zeit. Sind es Wegweiser oder Mahnmale für begangene Untaten wie Mord oder Totschlag ?
SAGE: Ein Spitzenhändler aus Mitweida soll hier am 4.Mai 1687 von seinen Reisegefährten erschossen worden sein. Der Händler hieß Johann Friedrich Heinlein oder auch Händel. Er wurde im Alter von 39 Jahren wahrscheinlich auf dem Friedhof in Gefress begraben.
Ein Ratsbürger von Berneck soll die Tat entdeckt haben. (Sterberegister von Gefrees).
(Quelle/source Compuwolf) thanks therefore :-)
