The intersection bears the field name Jungfernkreuz. There is a saga about this. She reports that a knight murdered a girl at this point and has since been called the Virgin Cross.

Apparently the Jungfernkreuz was originally about 1 km further up on the way to Veitenstein. This is indicated by an old, pasted-over signpost and a marker on a tree on the later course of the route.

Is the legend of the murdered girl really true?
