The modern wayside shrine is a structure with a height of 3.40 m and a width of 2.40 m. It depicts St. Christopher with the baby Jesus. A structured brick wall with a pointed arch niche holds the colorful mosaic image. Wooden supports support the front of the gable roof. Natural slate covers the roof and gable. The beautifully designed forecourt with 2 benches and a green area invites you to linger. The foundation stone for this artistically designed wayside shrine was laid on May 1, 1991.

"We laid the foundation stone with joy and gratitude because every part of the village now has a Christian symbol: the cross on the Houverather Heide, the chapel in the Vore, the cross at Steffens and now the image of St. Christopher on Kleingladbacher Straße." (Excerpt from the certificate attached to the foundation stone). The certificate bears the signature of "Bartel Jansen City Director, Willy Stein Mayor of the City of Erkelenz, Prelate Arnold Poll Pastor in Houverath."
