There is a medieval atonement cross here. At that time it was common to negotiate atonement agreements. As part of the reparation, the erection of a stone cross was usually agreed upon. The background was predominantly murder or manslaughter. These crosses can be found on the side of the road or at crossroads.

Atonement cross or murder cross is the name for a stone hallway cross that was erected to atone for murder or manslaughter. Atonement crosses are atonement stones in the shape of a cross. Atonement crosses were usually located on paths and crossroads. Some stone crosses have weapons (crossbows, axes or similar) carved into them, possibly the murder weapons.
