    The search trunk cross reminds of a bloody deed that happened here in 1682.

    ... here the text, translated into today's notation:

    "All here at this place, the honorable and virtuous Mrs. Ursula Suchetruck, born Hackstock, died on April 24, 1682, a fellow citizen from (? place name), when she was with her dear husband [husband] Paulus Suchetrunck from Donnerskirchen (?) to wanted to go home and the pipe [rifle] went off unexpectedly, was shot, to which memory and honor of God her husband had this cross made. May God grant everyone a happy resurrection. Amen."

        “Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
        So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
        (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
        in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")
