In 1909, near this cross, a young boy of 9 was the victim of a sex crime and was murdered. The perpetrator was identified and sentenced to death. For this purpose a guillotine was transported from Cologne to Aachen. It was probably a holdover from the time when the Rhineland was under French occupation.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
