This atonement cross, about 70 cm high, stands on Patershäuser Weg, near the bridge railing on Liliengraben. The stone was created sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries.

In the early morning, when you have the place almost to yourself, it is most beautiful here. If you crouch down next to the atonement cross you can see everything from a different perspective. :-)

“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

The small stone cross is made asymmetrically. The base is noticeably wider and offset from the central axis.
According to legend, Patershausen was a village that gradually became deserted as the monastery flourished.
