Safety measures for memorial stones: Rainer Hilberath in conversation!

L 113, 53881 Euskirchen, Deutschland - Rainer Hilberath, chairman of the Thürne village community, recently discovered a surprising note on the Wegenkreuz on the L 113 between Scheuren and Houverath. The Landesbetrieb Straße NRW had attached an important notification in which they announced measures to secure memorial stones on federal and state roads. A total of around 20 commemorative objects were identified in the Euskirchen district to ensure traffic safety and at the same time protect the memory of historical events.

This initiative follows a tragic incident in 2021, in which a seven -year -old boy was fatally injured by a fallen memorial cross. Street North Rhine -Westphalia emphasizes that the removal of massive commemorative objects is only considered as the last remedy if no mutually acceptable solutions are possible. Smaller wooden crosses, which are often set up by relatives, remain unaffected by this regulation. Hilberath is optimistic that the cross of road at the L 113 can keep its place because he and other villagers actively take care of his care. Further details on these measures are in a report by www.ksta.de to be found.
