It stands directly on the K 16 county road (Wachenheim - Lindenberg) and indicates a very "busy" place with an eventful history: In Roman times, a junction from Speyer via the Weinbiet to Lambertskreuz, then a customs station (between the Electorate of the Palatinate and the Diocese of Speyer) and in 1794 a Prussian redoubt (against the French revolutionary troops).
