    Research has shown that there are two stories or legends about this stone cross:
    1. Position marker at which the lepers were provided with food and clothing after their return from the Crusades (1096-1270).
    2. It is said to have been a border mark to which the residents of Ifta were allowed to go to bring food to the sick in Lüderbach during a plague epidemic.

    The leprosy cross near Lüderbach is in the shape of a Latin cross. It is one of the historical rural monuments that can still be found in old cultural landscapes as witnesses to bygone times. The reason for its installation is no longer known; there is no contemporary written evidence. Only a few popular legends are told about it.
    This can be seen in the picture hung on the tree next to the cross.
