When the municipal forest of Oftersheim was separated from the electoral forest area "Schwetzinger Hardt" in 1702, the cross was included in the extensive forest petrification and was retained as a boundary stone when the border was completed in 1778. The inscription thus refers "to the ownership structure and the marking of the forest". It contains "only the history of the cross as a boundary stone".
