Guided Story

In front of you is a replica of the historic wayside cross that once stood here in Bonn. The original was dismantled and restored in 1979 and then reinstalled in 1981 at the entrance of the Rhineland Museum. What you see at the 'Hochkreuz' tram stop is a precise replica of that memorial. If you look around, you might notice the Holy Cross Church about 542 meters to the northeast. This cross is a part of the rich history of Bad Godesberg, nestled between the areas of Friesdorf and Hochkreuz.
