    The Nordhäuser Cross was created as a reliquary for a cross relic that Emperor Otto III. around 1000 he gave it to the Nordhausen women's monastery, founded by his great-grandmother Mathilde.
    In 1675 it was sold to Duderstadt in the Electorate of Mainz.
    In Duderstadt, the Nordhäuser Cross is part of the church treasury of St. Cyriakus. It is still used today on the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross and on special occasions in the liturgy. It was back in Nordhausen on loan for Open Monument Day 2008.
    Today it was shown on the Euzenberg near the monumental cross during a service for the celebration of the Exaltation of the Cross.
