    This memorial cross, dating from the late Middle Ages, probably from the 15th or 16th century, stands on the edge of the road from Oberrimbach to Rinderfeld. The murder and atonement cross, popularly known as the "Metzgerkreuz" (Butcher's Cross), is intended to commemorate that a man was killed at this spot with a scythe. The unusual engraving also refers to this.
