All of those information signs are stolen from Wildeshausen.

Also, all of the other POIs on this route are fake aswell, they are partly duplicated from somewhere else.
The whole city is full of fakes, I will give this another look later, but first, the information signs can get deleted.
Thanks ans sorry for the low efford!

Thanks for flagging, @LukeAllStars-PGO! I've escalated your report internally for review. We will follow-up as soon as we have more information to share. Thank you!
Here is a full grid with all the fakes I found on the first view. Hope that posting the document is ok aswell.
If you google "Kreuzweg Leutkirch", you will find a different one than they have, so I put all of them on the list aswell.
I can confirm that these portals are fake. I've been there personally at the beginning of last year. There has been one real POI at that circuit which has been https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=47.853096,9.994797&z=17&pll=47.853096,9.994797 if i remember correctly.
I'm still baffled how so many crosses right next to each other got accepted. I mean we do have many of them but not every 5 meters.
Bad reviewers and no punishment for fakers. It's incredibly easy to get fakes accepted in germany. Once these are removed the fakers are likely to just submit again.
We have reviewed the report and have taken actions on the Wayspots and Wayfinders in accordance with our policies. However, due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to take action on few Wayspots. If you have additional evidence like the geotagged images or articles to share to confirm their actual locations, please resubmit with additional information and we’ll take another look.
