Nice iron wayside cross. A stone cross was originally located here, but it was stolen by strangers. Source: Information plaque at the wayside cross.

The original cross was from 1794 and commemorates Peter Josef Wolf, who died here as a bachelor. (According to the information board of the Schmidtheim association cartel)

“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")
