In the south of the village a dirt road leads towards Junkersdorf. After 800 meters to the north, the stone cross stands at an angle with a field path that branches off at an acute angle.

The source discusses the legends mentioned above. It can therefore be assumed that it is an atonement cross.

Atonement cross or murder cross is the name for a stone cross that was erected to atone for murder or manslaughter. Atonement crosses are atonement stones in the shape of a cross. Atonement crosses were usually located on paths and crossroads. Some stone crosses have weapons (crossbows, axes or similar) carved into them, possibly the murder weapons.
