Here is a medieval expiatory cross. At that time it was customary to negotiate atonement agreements. As part of the reparation, the erection of a stone cross was usually agreed. The background was predominantly murder or manslaughter. These crosses can be found on the side of the road or at crossroads.

Atonement cross or murder cross is the name of a stone field cross that was built to atone for a murder or manslaughter committed. Atonement crosses are atonement stones in the shape of a cross. Atonement crosses were mostly placed on paths and crossroads. Weapons (crossbow, ax or similar) are scratched into some stone crosses, possibly the murder weapons.
