The three benches, arranged at right angles to each other, form – together with the small sacred monument – a square under trees that cyclists should not pass carelessly. The crucifix – a cross with the body of the crucified Christ, whose pale body stands out clearly against the dark wooden background – is provided with a protective gabled roof and a rear wall. Overall, this is perhaps a design style that we have seen many times before, but there is another important detail here: At the feet of the crucified Christ is an image of the Madonna, the mother of Jesus Christ. It shows Mary, dressed in blue, with seven swords piercing her heart (her soul).
