It is a wayside cross from 1835, which, however, had a predecessor from 1445.
At that time this cross was supposed to protect the country and its people from the rigors of nature and at the same time served as a place of prayer for God's blessing for a good harvest. Today's wayside cross, made of sandstone, rests on a base with neo-Gothic shapes and bears an inscription. The arched niche is striking. The newer cross is made of metal. Because of the centuries-old tradition, this cross - also known as the hail cross - should be preserved and cared for.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Dean Rainald M. Ollig in "Wegekreuze")
