The Relief
The shrine is centered around a relief made of reddish-brown, unglazed terracotta. It consists of several parts and measures 100 × 70 centimeters. It was created by Herbert Mellen.
From Wayside Chapel to Wayside Shrine
The relief was originally mounted in a small wayside chapel at the corner of Bartzheide and Tönisbergerstraße. It was only moved to its current location when the wayside shrine was newly erected. This origin is also reflected in the shrine's earlier traditional name, "Wayside Shrine (Wayside Chapel).
