An dieser Stelle wurde 1792 ein Missionskreuz In Holz errichtet. Dieses wurde 1897 durch eine Kreuzigungsgruppe in Stein ersetzt, die 1941 in den Kriegswirren entfernt wurde und verloren ging. Durch die Initiative der Bürgergemeinschaft Henger Herrjotts Fott wurde am 27.8.1989 diese neue Kreuzigungsgruppe errichtet und eingeweiht. Geschaffen von Bonifatius Stirnberg.

English translation:

In 1792 a mission cross of wood was placed at this location. This was replaced in 1897 by a crucifixion group in stone, which was removed in 1941 and lost in the chaos of war. Through the initiative of the Henger Herrjotts Fott (“Behind the Lord’s Buttocks”) society, this new crucifixion tableau was erected and inaugurated on August 27, 1989. Created by Bonifatius Stirnberg.
