Tips from the Community
In front of this small, sacred monument—with its special dedication as a PEACE CROSS—I would like to offer the viewer a short text by Christiane Völkel, who personally describes the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Philippi as "one of the beautiful passages that always touches my heart." Paul writes: "Do not be anxious about anything, but with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ." (Philippians 4:6-7) She comments as follows: "You really have to let these two sentences sink in word for word! They contain everything of 'Good News' (...) And another beautiful aspect that moves me in the second sentence: It says that prayer accomplishes something. Namely, finding peace within oneself and walking one's path in life from fellowship with Jesus."

The small Fröschl Chapel, also known as the "Rehkogel Chapel," was built in 1914 by Johann and Rosina Fröschl in gratitude for Johann Fröschl's recovery. Since then, it has served not only as a spiritual retreat on the way to Weistrach, but soon became an integral part of the region's religious life. In 1939, it was expanded: The carpenter Gallhuber (known as Schodermeier), grandfather of the current Brandecker family, installed an altar table and benches. Since then, the chapel has also been a fixture in the annual supplication procession. For many decades, the Fröschl Chapel was a popular place of power – both for hikers and locals seeking peace and contemplation. The sadness was all the greater when the chapel was demolished by the property owner on March 25, 2025, without prior notice. Many people from the surrounding area associated personal memories with this place. But there is hope: thanks to the rapid commitment of the parish, community and residents, a new chapel is already planned at a nearby location.

On October 13, 2023, the newly designed Peace Cross was ceremoniously blessed by Pastor Krystian Lubinski. Originally placed near the old rectory, it later moved to the school and has now found its new home: at an intersection of hiking trails in Burgholz, the local recreation area of St. Peter in der Au. There, it invites you to rest and reflect as a place of prayer and silence. The cross symbolizes peace and community—a silent companion on the path through the forest and a beautiful place to pause.

A beautiful natural spot with 2 moor ponds. The paths around are nature trails with information boards. You are in the forest, so there are lots of roots in the paths - flat terrain "for practicing balance" - with consideration for hikers 🥰
