The wayside shrine at Grain near the Palatinate town of Deidesheim is a Roman Catholic hall monument from the 15th century. Due to its age and quality, it is one of the most important wayside shrines in the Palatinate .
The wayside shrine, donated in 1431 by a woman named Margarete Odenwald, stands on the northern outskirts of Deidesheim. An octagonal , profiled pillar with a pointed arch stands on a two-tiered base . A coat of arms is attached to the pillar, on which a vintner is depicted while praying next to a chair . The coat of arms bears an inscription, which can no longer be read today. A skull is depicted to the left and right of the coat of arms. The framed arch depicts the crucifixion of Jesus . Under the cross are John (with book), Maria , as well as Saints Katharina (with wheel and sword) and Barbara (with palm and tower). Four angels are shown waving a censer and catching the blood of Christ from its wounds.
To the left and right of the wayside shrine are two atonement crosses from the 15th or 16th century, they could remind of an accident or a manslaughter. On the western atonement cross, a mason's tool is depicted at the intersection of the bars.
