EN: This limestone cross stands in northeastern Ettingen at the intersection of Eigenweg and Hochfeldweg.

The relatively small Jesus figurine is made of black painted metal and under a small canopy. At the top, the letters INRI are engraved and on the side beams the year 1844. The cross looks like new; it must have been fully cleaned just recently.
