There is an explanation board next to the cross. According to this, the tuff column from the Celtic era was a place of justice. As is so often the case, Christians converted this pagan site into theirs and simply carved a cross out of the stone.

In addition to the history of this place, the view that can be enjoyed from the bench a few meters next to the cross is also worth a visit ...

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes 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 overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
