In 1893, master carpenter Matthias Jeck built a large crucifix on the Schinnkopf (428 m) out of gratitude for his regained health. There is now a successor cross there. Since the Schinnkopf is now forested, the summit cross can no longer be seen from afar.
There used to be a gallows here, visible from afar as a warning to the pioneers. A former quarry is located below the cross.
The name Schinnkopf can be derived from "flay" for hard work (see quarry), also execute (see gallows) or bury for dead cattle.

The Schinnkopf was a place of execution in historical times.

The place itself is not on any marked path. The cross is somewhat weathered and not directly accessible because it is fenced in with barbed wire.
