The probably late medieval cross stone is about 1 km southwest of Hartlanden in the direction of Grasmannsdorf on the old long-distance route between Bamberg and Würzburg (Jakobusweg).

In the maps, this cross stone appears at 320 m above sea level as a Swedish cross. The designation Swedish Cross allows a connection to the Thirty Years' War, which raged between 1618 and 1648. During this time, Hartlanden was probably completely destroyed.

The Kreuzstein is entered in the list of monuments for the town of Hartlanden and was restored in winter 21/22.
