„But what about the passion story? … Did he really suffer for us there, did he really die on the cross, and did he really rise again?“ Bishop Reinhold Stecher once asked, and perhaps one or the other observer of the sacred little monument here on site also asks themselves this. He gets to the heart of the critical questions about the Christian faith, which the popular pastor always proclaimed anew, and continues his reflection: „But when you see that this painstakingly worked-out material actually agrees in countless details with the evangelical accounts, then it speaks for historicity and then many doubts resolve themselves. And so we want to ask the Holy Spirit to give us a more vivid, more realistic, and thus more credible image of the human Jesus: As the Son of God and as the Messiah already expected in the Old Testament.“

Stamp point for the 6th stage of the Natursteig Sieg and the Erlebnisweg Sieg „Wälderweg“. Why this was set up about 150 m away from the hiking trail is not entirely clear to me. Just because of the few meters of altitude on the Studchen?
