    The Bonifatiuskreuz on Linden-platz was first mentioned in writing in 1555. The basalt cross, restored in 1976, once stood next to the 1000-year-old Gerichtslinde in the middle of Lindenplatz. The cross arms have indentations that were used to place candles. Before the first Bonifatiuskapelle was built, this cross is said to have stood at the spot where the saint's bones rested for one night in 754. The first written mention of Kriftel dates from 780 to 802.

    There was once a 1000-year-old lime tree on Lindenplatz. A successor to her had to be felled in 2022 because she had died.
    The Boniface cross made of basalt is almost at the historical location where it was mentioned in a property book in 1555. The bones of St. Boniface are said to have rested here for one night on the funeral procession to Fulda in 754. However, this is not proven.
    A war memorial "In memory of the glorious campaign of 1870-1871" can also be found here, along with an ice cream parlour.
