The wayside shrine was erected in 1513 or 1518 in memory of the murder of Nickel Klein. It is on the road between Zappendorf and Benkendorf right next to the Salzatal bridge. In the course of time some of the inscriptions have weathered, such as the inscription with the name of the murdered man. In the upper third there are reliefs . The broad sides show a station of the cross and a crucifixion scene. A bishop is to be recognized on the narrow sides and a bearded man on the other side. The bishop is probably St. Nicholas of Myra and the bearded man is St. Bartholomew .

An information board was set up by the State Office for Archeology.
