“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes 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 overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

In the middle of the fields near the outskirts is this cross with a bench; privately donated. Also a possibility to rest, depending on the position of the sun, even in the shade.

The panel with the four letters "INRI" (also called the title of the cross), which is often seen on cross representations and attached to the longitudinal beam of the cross, is the Latin abbreviation for the words "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum". Such a plaque was then common in the Roman Empire and gave the reason for the conviction or execution.
This inscription is documented in the Bible, among other things, in the report of the evangelist John about Jesus' crucifixion. In chapter 19, verse 19 it says, "Pilate also had a tablet made and fixed on top of the cross, with the inscription: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." (Unit translation).
