Culture and sights

Buildings

Werner Fischer writes in his chronicle of Heudorf about the three wayside crosses, popularly known as the “three plague crosses”, at the junction of the federal road 311 to Heudorf and Leibertingen-Altheim : “There are reports of plague times in the 15th century. The three plague crosses on Tuttlinger Strasse testify to that ”. Plague crosses were supposed to prevent travelers from entering the place at that time and at the same time urge the stranger to ask and pray for the redemption of the inhabitants from the plague. But they were also set up as thanks after the plague had died down. Presumably these are successor crosses. In fact, the street has always served as an important traffic and travel route here: Probably built as a Roman road , it later served as a post and military road. In 1812 it was laid out as a country road, regulated in 1859 and re-routed to the federal road in 1977/1978. The three wooden crosses show the crucifixion of Christ, the death on the cross on Golgotha ​​and are classified as minor monuments.
