This is a former pagan place of worship. Lorsch monks built here in 1350 a chapel, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times. At the beginning of the 18th century, the pilgrimage site on Kreuzberg was cared for by a hermitage; However, this was abandoned in 1808 and demolished along with the chapel. Today, there are fourteen cast-iron station pictures depicting the Passion of Jesus and an altar cross.
