A centuries-old tree, the “thick beech”, stood here at the intersection of various local hiking trails with the main hiking trail 4, the Josef-Schramm-Weg. When it had to be struck by lightning and then felled, the Trier hiking warden Peter Zimmer took the initiative at the beginning of the 1960s and, on behalf of the local group, had a six meter high wooden cross erected at the same place in the forest. In January 1964, the first Eifel Cross was inaugurated as a memorial for all deceased members of the association, which is commemorated annually on a November Sunday.

Over the decades, the wooden cross weathered, which is why it was renewed in July 2010 and inaugurated on November 17th as part of a hike with the memorial of the dead by Deacon Wilhelm Kunzem from Ehrang.
