The wayside shrine in Oberzell is located in Oberzell , a suburb of the Rot an der Rot community in the Biberach district in Upper Swabia . The wayside shrine was erected in 1720 when Beda Werner was abbot of the Ochsenhausen monastery .
location
Until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803, Oberzell belonged to the territory of the Ochsenhausen Imperial Abbey. Within the spiritual area it was assigned to the Tannheim office. The wayside shrine is located on the street called "Windhalde" . The wind dump, located in Unterzell, branches off from the valley road about four hundred meters before the town of Zell an der Rot .
description
The brick wayside shrine is about 3.50 meters high and has a square floor plan with a side length of about 1.50 meters. It contains a life-size wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ behind a wrought iron grille. Jesus is fully clothed and stands next to a pillar of scourge to which he is chained with a metal chain.
In a niche in the outer gable of the wayside shrine is a carved figure of Saint George , who sits on a white horse and stabs a dragon in the throat with a lance in his left hand. The fact that there is Saint George in the niche indicates that the wayside shrine was in the area of the Ochsenhausen monastery, of which Georg was the patron, while the Premonstratensian imperial abbey of Rot an der Rot, which is within sight, has Saint Verena as patroness would have.
Mission cross
On the four-meter high mission cross in front of the wayside shrine, it says: " Save your soul ". In addition, the year 1950 is engraved about one meter above the base of the cross. The year 1950 indicates the popular mission of that time in the same year.
