The three and a half meter high expressionist crucifix with a weight of around 250 kilograms was cast in the existing mold by the Austrian artist Alexander Silveri (1910–1986). The original made of cast steel can be found in the Franciscan Church in Graz together with other works by the artist .
Bells
The bells were cast in Sinn on May 6, 1966 in the Rincker bell and art foundry . The three bells received the following inscriptions:
- big bell: "O country, hear the word of the Lord."
- middle bell: "Glory to God on high and peace on earth."
- little bell: "Make peace in your gates."
On December 2, 1966, the three new bells were passed in a festive procession from the entrance to the church and installed there. The 18-meter-high tower was prefabricated next to the church and was then placed on the 11-meter-high nave with the mobile crane with the bells.
