 15: The Cross at LerbachAccording to tradition this cross should remind people of the fact that against her father’s will Mary, the daughter of General Leopold von Niesewand, entered a convent. In those days a convent was the last haven for unprovided daughters from rather poor families. Mary’s father, at that time the owner of Lerbach Manor, had different plans for his daughter. In the end he resigned himself to her decision and had the cross erected and provided with the inscription: “Lord, thy will be done”. The local historian Anton Jux writes: “A long time ago the parishioners were given a blessing at this cross when the former “cherry procession” that is completely unknown today walked past Lerbach on its way back from Strundorf. When the manor became the property of the Zanders family the cross was to be transferred to Bonnschlade. But Mrs Anna Zanders, née von Siemens, didn’t give her consent so that the cross has remained in its place ever since”. |
