Why the 'Knife Guy' is what his name is is not experienced. The stone cross with crucifixion group and skull is missing the right arm. The inscription reads: "In 1752, on the 28th of December, all of us came for his life. Albert Meijer von Voltlagen bette his sel and before all travelers a father Our Ave Maria."
