Stone cross near Hague
The stone cross near Haag is a historic land monument near Haag , a district of the Middle Franconian town of Heideck in Bavaria .
The misshapen stone cross is made of sandstone, is badly weathered, measures 90 × 88 × 28 cm and stands on a concrete base. The right arm is partially broken off. There are a few holes in the intersection that could also be cells . The cross is believed to have been moved. In historical maps it was further west ( 49 ° 6 ′ 47.92 ″ N , 11 ° 4 ′ 55.09 ″ E ).
The small monument is on the so-called Heerstraße, which led from Haag to Heideck on the northern edge of the Schlossberg . In Liebenstadt , Heerstraße is also called “Hiierstraße” in dialect. It is not known exactly when this atonement cross was erected. The installation was probably made in the 17th century. The name Schwedenkreuz suggests that it was already here during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). In the Galgemaier map (Protestant pastor, cartographer, astronomer in Laibstadt until 1603), the probably oldest hand-drawn map of the Laibstadt / Haag / Heideck area around 1600, no stone cross is shown. It is reported locally that a woman is said to have frozen to death at this point.
