The cross was erected in 1864 in memory of the popular mission carried out. A popular mission had the goal of deepening the faith in the parish and bringing about religious renewal. It usually lasted 10 to 15 days and can be described as a "retreat for a community". Since the 16th century, it has been carried out primarily by Jesuits, who preached, visited the faithful and administered the sacraments. The mission cross is said to be on these days Keeping reflection and conversion alive. The community mission is the further development of the people's mission into today's times.
