 12: The wayside-cross OdenthalIn front of house No. 33 there is the so-called Odenthal Cross. In 1831 Johann Odenthal bought a large estate and built a house on top of the small hill. But soon afterwards he began to suffer from depression. In a last effort to rid himself of his melancholy he took the vow – supported by other pious fellow men – to have a cross erected. He sold his only ox and from the proceeds obtained he set up a cross in the centre of Kaltenbroich with four lime trees planted around it. Immediately afterwards his health improved and he lived a happy man for quite some years. |
