In 1621, Duke Heinrich II granted market rights to Isming, but the town then suffered during the Thirty Years' War. During the war, an officer saved the city archives in the town hall tower via an underground passage and was able to hold the town for a long time, but then it was also depopulated and the town hall was destroyed. In 1664 there were only 80 households. This cross was erected in front of the south-west entrance to Albestroff, where the old chapel destroyed by the Swedes is said to have stood.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect “their” cross at this spot. (...) 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 aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our lives, just as it was part of the life of Jesus.

So I hope that many people ... will visit the wayside crosses, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of community gathering, prayer and praise of God.”

(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig

in: “Wayside crosses... small sacred monuments as signs of popular piety”)
