    This "cross on the side of the road" has stood in Dellwig since 1866 to protect the population from flooding on the Emscher and was completely renovated by the parish in 2002.

    On November 15, 1981, the day Pope John Paul II began his visit to Germany, master stonemason Rudolf Hendricks planted a beech tree behind the newly erected cross.
