The cross is near the former border and serves as a memorial. After several people were expelled from Ummerstadt in the early 1950s, the number of people who fled to the American zone of their own free will also increased. This led to the idea of founding a “Community of Ummerstadters”. In this context, it was decided to erect a cross on the border with Thuringia as a commemoration of the dead at home. Finally, on October 27, 1963, a cross was erected in a clearing at "Eichenbühl", directly on the zone border with a view of Ummerstadt. hikes had the cross as their goal.

2. Since that time the cross has stood in the same place and in the years leading up to reunification it was a constant focal point for many people who had the cross as their goal on their hikes. The reunification also gave rise to a service being held at the Ummerstadter Kreuz every year on German Unity Day to commemorate times gone by.

From there you have a wonderful view over Ummerstadt to the Bleßberg. Nearby is the Heiligenleite chapel, really worth seeing. Or you continue to Ummerstadt, a very beautiful half-timbered town.
