The initials C E (or CF) and the year 161 ... on the crossbar were drawn into the headpiece of the stone cross. The last digit is no longer legible due to a mark on the right arm.

Legend: 1. A local legend reports that a Swedish soldier who died of the plague was buried here during the Thirty Years' War. But at that time the Swedes were neither in this area nor was the plague rampant.
2. For the people who had to cross the forest between Übermoos and Pfaffing, it was an eerie place. It is said that a black dog silently accompanied the hikers and suddenly disappeared at the place of the cross.

STONE CROSS 17th century
Up until the criminal law reform of 1532, murder and manslaughter could also be atoned for by private agreement, with the perpetrator e.g. had a cross erected at the site of the event (so-called stone or atonement cross). The reason for the erection of this stone cross with the initials CE and the year 161 (?) is not yet known. It can be assumed that, based on the centuries-old tradition of atonement crosses, such stone crosses were also erected after 1532, but no longer as a sign of atonement, but as a memorial to a misfortune. There are a number of legends surrounding both the Lindererbach and the Steinkreuz.
