In the village in a small complex at a crossroads near the northern end of the village. In the complex there used to be a well shaded by linden trees, the "Hangborn".

Mighty cross-patterned cross with arms rounded at the outer edges and a horizontal head end. The foot should reach the width of the arm at the lowest point. While the arms are in good condition, the head shows slight weathering damage on top. The shaft has broken out on the north-east side about 30cm above the ground. The foot width that can be measured on the ground is 78 cm. On the front there is a Greek cross, on the back one on the top and a second one under a curved, acute-angled roof with a rooster beam (A-shape). The drawings are weathered and unfortunately covered by paint. Early 15th century.

The Oberheldrunger local researcher Ernst Glaß described the scratching on the back as a pilgrim devotional rune. The stone, which used to sink almost under the arms, had been lifted before 1923 by E. Glass. In the elevated form it was depicted on an anniversary emergency money note from the Spar- und Darlehnskasse Helderungen - value 0.50M. (Hall 1989) (Source: Suehnekreuz.de)
