Attention, difficult course

An artistically forged iron cross rises on a stone base next to the street. The lower ornaments on the sides are obviously not just decorative accessories, but also give the entire object the necessary stability. The longitudinal beam of the cross is also richly decorated with ornaments on the inside. On the other hand, the inside of the crossbeam bears a commemorative inscription "JUBILE DE 1878". It is probable, but not clear, whether the cross was actually erected that year or whether it was merely intended to (subsequently) commemorate the anniversary of that year.

This stone cross rising from the brick base may appear intact at a first glance, but it's worth a second closer look: the cross apparently once had a body, which has since been removed. Where the longitudinal and transverse beams meet, the outlines of the corpus that was formerly attached can still be seen in the stone. Also clearly visible are the holes that marked the nails on the outstretched arms and feet, with which the figure of Christ crucified had been fixed to the stone.

The supporting column of this small sacred monument, whose capital bears the date 1855, rises imposingly high. On top of it is a cross (presumably made of iron), whose longitudinal and transverse beams are merely outlines.
