Sandstone, tapered pillar and four-sided top with picture niches, arched gables, ball and metal cross, inscribed "1845"The inscription “Joh. Bfadenhauer von Geschwend has the picture err. M. E. 1845 “carved. On the base there is a divided and sectioned pillar shaft, the four sides of which are decorated with banding. The top is closed by retracted round arches and is crowned by a stone ball and an iron double bar cross. The reliefs on the four sides show the Trinity, the Glosberg Mother of God, Saint John Nepomuk and Saint Joseph with the baby Jesus. The wayside shrine is reminiscent of the farmer Johann Pfadenhauer, who died at harvest time after the physically strenuous field work.
