The stone cross stands in the middle of Steinegg with no date. The Coat of arms on the base look quartered. The wife's arms are currently unidentified, but the simple arms on the left are those of the Freiherrs of Gemmingen. This was probably donated by the rulers of the region. While there is no date, from the style of the cross, it was probably erected in the late 1700s/early 1800s.
