    According to the inscription, the cross chapel was built in 1660.
    At that time Kempen had no church rights and therefore no church of its own. At that time the area was in a forest and because someone got lost there, he donated this cross chapel.

    The Kreuzkapelle is located on the old procession path at the southern end of St. Töniser Straße. Its construction goes back to the Kempen chronicler Johannes Wilmius (1584 to 1655), who inaugurated it in 1639. In the 1860s, processions took place every evening from Engerstraße to the Kreuzkapelle, sometimes attended by up to 800 people.
    The chapel is only open for the Good Friday procession and on special occasions. The access road to the new residential area "An der Kreuzkapelle", which is now grouped around the chapel, was named accordingly.
