Many cyclists will likely just ride past such a small, sacred monument as this one, situated by the roadside, without paying much attention to the depiction of the cross. But from my – admittedly purely subjective – point of view, the crucifix, which shows us the crucified Christ above a red sandstone base, certainly deserves a short pause along the way. A bench is available.

The then Chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Wolfgang Huber, wrote (together with Cardinal Karl Lehmann, Chairman of the German Bishops' Conference) in an ecumenical book project on the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "gospel"), according to the Gospel of John, regarding Christ's death on the cross: + "This new connection... under the cross and through this death therefore already points beyond the mood of Good Friday. In this farewell, the seed of a new beginning already appears. THE CROSS MOVES INTO THE LIGHT OF A HOPE that does not separate people from one another, but brings them together. The cross, whose ends point in four different directions, has a common center. It unites." (Text from "In the Beginning a Word. The Gospel of John as a Companion for the Year")
