Enghausener Kreuz, 9th-century wooden sculpture in Enghausen, Germany.
The Enghausener Kreuz measures 232 centimeters in height and 178 centimeters in width, featuring a corpus of Christ mounted on a wooden cross structure.
Created between 890 and 900, this monumental crucifix originated from the Benedictine church of St. Kastulus in Moosburg before being transferred to its current location.
The sculpture depicts Christ attached with four nails, standing on a suppedaneum designed as a demon's head, representing early medieval German religious artistry.
Following restoration work from 2004 to 2006, the cross returned to the Filialkirche in Enghausen, where it remains protected by security systems.
The cross adorned the wall above the cathedra during Pope Benedict XVI's service on September 10, 2006, marking its significance in contemporary religious ceremonies.
