EN: The limestone cross with a black metal figure is dated 1929 at the side beams. At the foot is engraved "Praise be Jesus Christ".
The location is a bit strange. The cross is not on the street, but behind a big tree around which a sidewalk bends. This really only makes sense when the cross was been moved here later, but I have not found any details.
DE: Das Kalksteinkreuz mit einer schwarzen Metallfigur ist an den Seitenarmen mit 1929 datiert. Am Fuss ist "Gelobt sei Jesus Christus" eingraviert.
Der Standort ist ein wenig seltsam. Das Kreuz steht nicht an der Strasse, sondern hinter einem grossen Baum, um den der Gehsteig eine Kurve macht. Das macht eigentlich nnur Sinn, wenn das Kreuz erst später hierher versetzt worden ist, aber ich habe keine Details gefunden.
