The reason for the establishment is after verbal communication of the Rhine. Landesmuseum Bonn the fulfillment of a vow due to wolf plague or dog fury (rabies). According to a note, the letters MOW mean the names "Mertens Odilie und Wensel", who were probably the founders. Source: woenge.de/woeng/artikel/1100jahre/bohnen-wegekreuze/wegkreuze.html

Halfway between the Kreuzweingarten and the Hardtburg stands this simple, large wayside cross, which is dedicated to Saint Hubertus. Two benches invite you to take a break. The relief at the foot of the cross, which sets special accents with sparse gilding, is particularly pretty.

St. Hubert is considered the patron saint of hunters and foresters. That's why shooting clubs like to name themselves after that. In addition, Hubertus probably provided help with rabies and dog bites. In the Eifel it is therefore also called "Honks-Huppert". The dog on the base picture refers to it.
