The crucifix dates from the same century. 1647 was the new construction of the tower top floor with the hood of the previous church after the fire in 1631 (Wikipedia).

Wolfsbach Pond and Wolf Statue

Highlight • Lake

From a natural stone pedestal looks like an imposing wolf. Why, many will ask. In the church books it can be read that there were 1640 and 1647 in Dornheim a wolf plague.
Behind it is a good rest stop.
