Raaber Kreuze#

Raab Waycrosses; Emperor Rudolf II had memorials erected at crossroads in Lower Austria to commemorate the retaking of the fortress of Raab (Gyoer, Hungary) on March 29, 1598. Their inscriptions had to read: "Sag Gott dem Herrn Lob und Dank, dass Raab wieder kommen in der Christen Hand." (Praise the Lord and be grateful to Him for Raab being in Christian hands again). There are Raab waycrosses at Korneuburg (shipyard), near Leobendorf, at Harth and at Kotzendorf (all in Lower Austria).
