EN: This wayside cross stands at a crossroads in the hamlet of Roderis, which belongs to the municipality of Nunningen.

The cross is made of stone and is about three and a half meters high. It has a figure of Jesus protected by a metal roof, which was probably added later.

In the lower part there is a metal sign with the inscription: "In memory of the day of the accident / Helene Flüeler / August 22, 1927". What happened then, I could not find out.
