As field crosses, wayside crosses express the plea for protection for all living things: the fields, animals and people, that they may be protected from storms or droughtand that the crops may thrive throughout the seasons.

These are very typical of the Allgäu region and can be found in many places.

The aim of the project is to clearly visualise and categorise these field crosses within a 15 km radius of Leutkirch im Allgäu.

This has resulted in two maps, one of which is an approximate representation of all the locations of the field crosses, the second an extension that categorises each field cross in this area.
