The adjacent table with the information about Spinnerinnenkreuz is interesting. Here you can gauge what life was like back then.

According to various sources, there are several legends about the reason for this cross. According to the information board near the cross, the following story is considered the most likely: Margret Meyr from Holzgerlingen was visiting her cousin in the small town of Zavelstein. The cousin's child was ill, so Margret Meyr set off for Calw to get advice and medicine from the doctor for the child. On the way home, she fell into a wolf pit in a snowstorm and died there.
