Wayside shrines (Rennesberg)
_(MGK19147).jpg)
The two shrines at Renneberg are under monument protection standing hallway monuments from sandstone in the Upper Franconian town of Kronach . You are north of the hamlet of Rennesberg, at the highest point of the local road connecting Friesen and Unterrodach , by the so-called Rennesberger Linde .

The younger of the two wayside shrines dates from the 18th century; it rests on a concave-convex profiled base , on the west side of which there is the weathered inscription "... Fößel ... 1780". A four-sided pillar shaft decorated with banding rises above the base, which is divided into two unequal halves by a frieze . The shaft also has a four-sided attachment with reliefs of saints, which are separated from each other by corner templates. The base and the recessed round arches , which form the upper end of the tower, are decorated; the crown is crowned by a stone ball and an iron double bar cross. The relief on the west side shows the Archangel Michael , the south side Saint Peter ; St. Joseph is depicted on the north side and the Glosberg Mother of God on the east side . A statue of the Virgin Mary in the pilgrimage to the north-west is said to have wept bloody tears several times in 1727, which is why this motif can be found on numerous wayside shrines in the Franconian Forest . The wayside shrine was damaged in a fall before 1974, which required renovation work. During the subsequent reconstruction, the essay was not fixed in its original orientation, so that the images of the saints no longer point in the same directions as when the wayside shrine was created.
The older of the two tortures originated in the 17th or 18th century. Your top is flanked by volutes . Under the protruding round arch, a relief with the Saints Peter and Paul can be seen on its front , in a cloud above them the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove; the back is blank. The original middle section of the wayside shrine, which was located between the attachment and the base that was preserved, has come off, so that the attachment lay loosely on the floor for a long time before it was attached directly to the base at an unspecified point in time after 1936. In September 1977, the land monument was completed with a new shaft made by the stonemason Ebert in Friesen with a cornice capital . A stylistically very similar torture at Effelter and the stations of the cross on the so-called Franziskanerweg, which runs west in the valley of the Haßlach from Kronach to Glosberg, served as a template for the work .
In January 2007 the Rennesberg linden tree was destroyed by hurricane Kyrill and the restored wayside shrine under the tree was damaged. He and the second torture were by stone restorer Wilhelm Keim jun. from Roßlach renovated and then repositioned at its old location. A new linden tree was planted next to it.
