Here are the most important facts about Hedwigshöhe: Location: The curve is located at approx. 600 meters above sea level and is one of the higher points on the route. It is located after the Eschbach curve combination and before the Wippermann, shortly before the Brünnchen section. Origin of the name: The section is named after Hedwig Creutz, the wife of District Administrator Dr. Otto Creutz, the "spiritual father" of the Nürburgring. It is said that she often enjoyed the view during the construction period (1925–1927). Characteristics: The crest of Hedwigshöhe is considered particularly challenging in the rain, especially for rear-wheel-drive vehicles. Historical outlook: Due to the sparse tree population during the construction phase, Hedwigshöhe offered a clear view over the Eifel to the Nürburg.

The Swedish Cross on the Nürburgring Nordschleife commemorates an event during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) in which Swedish soldiers robbed and murdered tax collector Hans Friedrich Datenberg from Adenau at this spot in 1638. The current cross, which replaced an older memorial stone, stands as a reminder of this violent death. The present stone cross, reinforced after being damaged in 1895, is a prominent landmark on the Nordschleife. The "Swedish Cross" section of the racetrack is particularly dangerous. This section also lends its name to the annual RCN race "Swedish Cross."
