    Here stands an old sandstone cross with the inscription:

    "Under the name of Jesus, let every knee bend, those who are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth." Andreas Kavs, former mayor of Marxheim, 1769

    The sandstone cross was originally located on the A66, where there is now a rest area.

    One of three crossroads from the 1760s in the vicinity (approx. 500m as the crow flies)

    The inscription on this one reads:
    "UNTERM NAMEN JESU SOLLEN SICH BIEGEN ALLE KNIE DERREM DIE IHM HIMELL AUF ERDEN UND UNTER ERDEN SEIND
    Andreas Kaus GEWESENER SCHULTHEIS
    MARXHEIM
    1769"
