      Corridor crosses were intended to encourage passers-by to pray for a deceased who died suddenly without being able to receive the sacraments of the dead. If someone was killed in an argument or accidentally, the culprit had to be reconciled with the victim's family. Atonement agreements under private law were concluded between the parties involved. From 1300 it is said to have been customary to erect a stone cross of reconciliation at the scene of the crime or where the relatives wished it. Upper Palatinate and Saxon atonement agreements have been preserved, in which the setting of an atonement cross is expressly agreed.
