The Arnoldsweilerweg crossroads are located in Düren in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The wayside cross stood on a traffic island at the confluence of the Arnoldsweilerweg and Schoellerstraße ( Bundesstraße 56 ).

The cross dates from the second half of the 18th century. The approx. 4 m high wrought iron cross is decorated with tendrils and has an originally gilded body.

The structure is registered under No. 1/063 in the list of monuments of the city of Düren.

The cross was restored in 2012 and moved to Arnoldsweilerstraße just before the Schoellerstraße traffic lights.
