Kleverschusskreuz, Medieval wayside cross in Lübeck, Germany.

The limestone cross stands 1.7 meters high at the intersection of Roeckstraße, featuring three circular hosts carved into its center.

The cross was erected in 1436 by Johann von der Heyde to guide pilgrims traveling from Lübeck to the Wunderblutkirche in Bad Wilsnack.

The stone marker bears a Middle Low German inscription requesting prayers for the founder who established this directional guide to Wilsnack.

Located between the roadway and sidewalk under a tree, the cross maintains its original function as a reference point for pedestrians.

Three holes in the right arm once held a bronze hand that pointed travelers toward the pilgrimage route to Wilsnack.
