Das Wei\u00dfe Kreuz in Altenahr<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Weit sichtbar leuchtet ein gro\u00dfes wei\u00dfes Kreuz \u00fcber Altenahr. Dieses Kreuz ist ein beliebter Aussichtspunkt. Es ist ca. vier Meter hoch und steht auf einem Felsen zwischen der Burgruine Are und dem Altenahrer Eck. Wanderer genie\u00dfen hier oben einen beeindruckenden Panoramablick auf Altenahr, die Steillagen der Weinberg und die m\u00e4andernde Flusslandschaft der Ahr.

Die genaue Entstehungsgeschichte des Wei\u00dfen Kreuzes ist nicht eindeutig \u00fcberliefert. Historischen Quellen zufolge handelte es sich urspr\u00fcnglich um ein Stationskreuz am alten Kirchweg zwischen Reimerzhoven und Altenahr. Bevor der Stra\u00dfentunnel gebaut wurde, verkehrten die Bewohner des Ahrtals nur auf den Fu\u00dfwegen \u00fcber die Berge miteinander. Heute bestaunen die G\u00e4ste die Winzer, die auf steilen Pfaden ihren Arbeiten im Weinberg nachgehen, doch fr\u00fcher musste jeder die steilen Pfade erklimmen. Alle Bewohner aus dem Ortsteil Reimerzhoven mussten schon zur Taufe \u00fcber den Bergr\u00fccken zur Pfarrkirche Maria Verk\u00fcndung nach Altenahr getragen werden. Auch der letzte Gang f\u00fchrte \u00fcber den Berg. Schmal und steil war der Weg, und oft konnten die Tr\u00e4ger des Sarges nicht nebeneinander gehen. Der Sarg musste an einer Stange angebunden werden und auf den Schultern getragen werden, wobei die Tr\u00e4ger hintereinander schritten. Deshalb entstand der Scherz: \u201eJeder Reimerzhovener muss erst geh\u00e4ngt werden, eher er begraben werden kann!“ Auf dem Berg stand ein kleines Holzkreuz an dem stets Rast gemacht wurde. Das Kreuz bedeutete also Pause des Trauerzuges, denn bis hierher kam der Pfarrer von Altenahr den Trauernden entgegen. Nachdem er den Verstorbenen eingesegnet hatte, stieg man den steilen Bergweg hinab zum Altenahrer Friedhof, der damals noch rund um die Kirche lag.

So erinnerte das weisse Kreuz an die beschwerlichen Wege, die die Menschen in vergangenen Zeiten zur\u00fccklegen mussten Rund um das Kreuz haben sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte weitere zahlreiche Sagen und Legenden entwickelt. Eine der bekanntesten erz\u00e4hlt von einer verzweifelten Witwe, die durch den Anblick eines Kreuzes neuen Mut sch\u00f6pfte. Aus Dankbarkeit soll ihre Familie sp\u00e4ter das Wei\u00dfe Kreuz errichtet haben. Auch wenn diese Geschichte nicht historisch belegt ist, geh\u00f6rt sie bis heute zum kulturellen Erbe Altenahrs. Wer den Weg auf sich nimmt, wird mit einer einzigartigen Aussicht und einem besonderen St\u00fcck Altenahrer Geschichte belohnt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
