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.

The white-painted, approximately 4.50 m high sandstone cross with neo-Gothic shapes rests on a basalt lava base. In the two-part substructure, which connects to the central building with a sloping cornice, are the words: "Mission 1864".

In the middle structure with pointed gable elements and trefoil arches is the admonition often chosen on mission crosses: “Save your soul”.

There is a small console underneath.

The crowning crucifix, consisting of a stone cross and a cast-iron figure of Christ, stands on a multi-tiered base that tapers towards the top. The figure of Christ shows the three-nail type that has been used since the Gothic period, in which the legs are crossed and both feet are pierced by just one nail. The figure is only dressed in a loincloth. Christ has a body marked by suffering. His gaze is directed towards the sky.
