It is not known when the large cross stone was placed on Alte Rehauer Straße. The reason why the stone was erected is also not clear. According to tradition, the stone is interpreted as an atonement cross for a murder. It is more likely, however, that this was a boundary marker for a former church property of the Waldsassen monastery or the Hof Hospital Foundation.

However, the legend of the 2 miller boys who have killed each other here because of jealousy, is considered a fictional story.
