Wayside crosses in the municipality of Mellau (Klaus district) in the Bregenz forest in Vorarlberg, Austria
Summary edit
| Description |
Deutsch: Wegkreuze in der Gemeinde Mellau (Ortsteil Klaus) im Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg, Österreich. Diese drei Kreuze stehen seit alter Zeit am Dorfeingang von Mellau im Ortsteil Klaus. Sie sollen bereits während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges hier aufgestellt worden sein und der Pest Einhalt geboten haben. Deswegen werden diese auch als „Pestkreuze“ bezeichnet. Zuletzt wurden die Kreuze 1960 erneuert. Eine andere Sage erzählt, dass die „drei seligen Geschwister“, die Regionalheiligen Merbod, Diedo und Ilga, sich hier voneinander verabschiedet haben und getrennte Wege im damals kaum besiedelten Bregenzerwald gegangen seien.
English: Wayside crosses in the municipality of Mellau (Klaus district) in the Bregenz forest in Vorarlberg, Austria. These three wayside-crosses have been at the Mellau village entrance in the Klaus district since ancient times. They are said to have been erected during the Thirty Years' War and stopped the plague. That is why these are also referred to as "plague crosses". Most recently, the crosses were renewed in 1960. Another legend tells that the "three blessed siblings", the regional saint Merbod, Diedo and Ilga, have said goodbye here and went separate paths in the then hardly populated Bregenzerwald.
