2	Atonement cross in the Büttnautal		Katzensteig, Benzingerstraße, start of the Büttnautal. Flst. No. 1853. 48 ° 10 ′ 52 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 52" E	1764	The atonement cross at the beginning of the Büttnautal. Flst. No. 1853 If the Benzingers want to get down to Veringenstadt quickly, they use a forest path. It leads past the source of the Büttnau and is called "Katzenstoigle". So there is an old stone cross on the way. It was so submerged in the ground that it had to be exposed in 1962. It is carved out of one piece, massive and heavy. On its cross arm it bears the year 1764 in large Latin letters. The reports about the stone differ. 40 people who were carried away by the plague are buried here, which is difficult to reconcile with the year. It is said to be a "murder cross" again. In 1487 a doctor from Veringen named Eberhard was killed by a certain Hans Ruger at this point. - According to the shape of this hulking stone, one can assume that it stood long before 1764. - The fact that stone was used for these marks of the dead has not the purpose of durability, but a much deeper reason. According to the ideas of the time, the murdered man's soul wandered restlessly. Only a stone was able to give her a resting place, like that which the body found in the grave. When these ideas were replaced by the Christian faith, a cross was placed instead of a simple stone as a symbol of salvation. Therefore, it was also considered a serious crime to damage or remove the stone.

Dietrich from Sigmaringen. The designs were very diverse, but the proposal by sculptor Schmider from Rottenburg quickly received the most sympathy. The proposal envisaged erecting a growing stone cross on the terrace of what was then the children's cemetery in front of the Deutstetter Church for each year of the war 1914–18 and 1939–45 in order to illustrate the steadily increasing number of fallen and missing persons. Presumably for cost reasons, a uniform size was ultimately implemented. The fact that a cross was put up for each year of the war makes it clear that in the first year of the Second World War no citizen of Veringen died, while in the last year of the war there was almost not enough space for the names. These crosses are arranged in a wavy line and lead to the center, the risen one. At the meeting of the local council on October 25, 1958, the establishment of the war memorial was unanimously decided. The names of all the local people who died Missing and fallen relatives of the refugees who had moved to Veringenstadt since the war were to be held in an honorable place for "eternal times".
