The Iron Cross in Paasdorf is a true gem and an important part of our cultural landscape. It was erected by the metalworking and blacksmithing students of the Mistelbach Trade School under the direction of Gerhard Rötzer. At approximately 3 meters high, it catches the eye even from afar and is made of welded iron parts that are part of the "reuse" process. You can even still see where the parts were previously used – that makes it very special. The cross stands at a point where you have a magnificent view over the village of Paasdorf. It not only symbolizes the deep-rooted religiosity of our region, but also combines tradition with modernity. The design demonstrates that we live in the here and now without forgetting our roots. It is a place of reflection and tranquility, ideal for anyone passing by the cycle path and wanting to take a short break. Here you can sit down, enjoy the view, and get some fresh air. The Iron Cross is thus not only a work of art, but also an inviting place to experience the beauty of Paasdorf and its surroundings. A little rest and reflection – that's a great thing to do here.
