A large cross stands on Calvary Hill and is visible from afar. In the High Middle Ages, this was the Galgenberg or the high court of the Waldeck district court. Those sentenced to death by hanging ended up here.

In the Middle Ages, public executions of convicts by the gallows took place on a gallows hill, also called gallows hill. The execution sites were built with the construction of stone gallows towers around the 13th or 14th century. Depending on the tradition of the place of justice, the executioner carried out all executions; times were rough in the Middle Ages.

Here on the present Calvary a cross is visible. The gallows used to be the jurisdiction of Waldeck
