Coesfelder Kreuz, Medieval wayside cross in Coesfeld, Germany.

The Coesfelder Cross stands at 3.24 meters high and 1.94 meters wide, featuring a Christ figure carved from walnut wood measuring 2.09 meters.

The cross received its first mention in an indulgence letter from 1312, marking the beginning of its religious significance in the region.

The Brotherhood of the Holy Cross, established in 1425, maintains traditions connected to this religious monument throughout generations.

Visitors can locate the cross along a 10-kilometer pilgrimage route that includes 11 station houses, two large crosses, and two chapels.

The cross contains ancient relics, including a fragment of the True Cross, which contributed to its early recognition as a miracle-working symbol.
