description

View of the location

Presumably it is an atonement cross . The inconspicuous sandstone cross has the shape of an Antonius cross , is about 70 cm × 65 cm × 25 cm in size and inclined backwards. It stands on a hedge on the edge of a small green area. The cross is well preserved and mossy (as of December 2018). Due to the large segment supports below the arms, it almost looks like a cross stone . The head is moderately weathered. The stone cross, probably based on the Middle Ages, has been designated as an architectural monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (D-5-71-216-41).
