history
Josef Picker created the cross in 1954 in memory of the sculptor Martin Lipsmeier from Delbrück , who died on September 29, 1947 as a prisoner of war in the Soviet Union and whose widow he married. There it was placed in front of the studio. After Picker’s death, there was initially no other exhibition space. Finally, in 2013, the Wöstmann family agreed to re-erect the cross at their court. After a restoration funded by the Rotary Club in Warendorf by the qualified restorer Margarethe Schubert from Münster , the now over 60-year-old wayside cross was inaugurated on May 29, 2014, Ascension Day, by the emeritus dean Walter Suwelack.
