location
The wayside cross , inaugurated as a mission cross in 1909, stands in Kothausen in front of the house wall of the building at Gladbacher Straße 333.
architecture
It is a small shaft cross on a high, articulated and pillar-shaped base, bluestone . Newly designed two-tier base made of basalt lava block steps. The base plate leads over a cubic substructure into the upright rectangular middle part, which has a white marble plaque with the inscription :
Mission cross / inaugurated on July 6, 1909 / by P. Wilhelm Veelmann SJ
The middle section is flanked by two pushed-on pillars with water hammer and leads over a triangular roof into the base of the cross. The attached body and INRI panel are made of metal (probably copper).
The wayside cross is in a good state of preservation. The structural environment and some details suggest that the property was moved or rebuilt during the redesign of the street layout in Kothausen.
The mission cross is a stonemason work typical of the time, which proves the religious life in Kothausen and the local popular piety . For reasons of local and social history (evidence of religious life and popular piety), the property is worth protecting as a monument .
