This cross was originally erected in 1890. This wooden cross with a wooden corpus was replaced by a concrete cross and corpus after the 1940-45 war. The cross was erected in gratitude for the return of Verstegen and Rogels from Germany. Both men had been arrested in a raid in 1944 and deported to Germany. The corpus originates from Kevelaer. The letters INRI are the first letters of Jezus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum (Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews). This inscription was located at the top of the cross of Christ.
