View of the location

The stone cross is about 300 meters east of Ottmannsberg. It is located there in a small green area at a fork in the road. The small monument is made of sandstone and stands on a modern concrete base . It is moderately weathered and has the dimensions 80 × 50 × 20 cm. It has smaller cuts on the head and arms. In the BayernAtlas the cross is referred to as the " Swedish Cross ".

A clear reference as the Swedish cross ( 1618–1648 ) cannot be proven. It is probably a late medieval atonement cross , which was moved to its current location around 1980. Nothing is known about the history and pending sagas.
