Wolfskreuz, Stone wayside cross in Kottenforst Forest, Germany.

The Wolfskreuz is a stone wayside cross in Kottenforst Forest, positioned between the Röttgen and Villiprott districts along Villiper Allee. Wolf paw prints and the Wolff-Metternich family coat of arms decorate its surface as the main visual features.

The monument was commissioned during the 18th century by Franz Joseph Graf Wolff-Metternich zu Gracht, who served as Electoral Chamberlain and Privy Councillor. The cross reflects both the family's connection to the region and their religious convictions during that era.

The cross is also called Jakobskreuz, after a wooden predecessor dedicated to the Apostle James. Its present name comes from the four wolf paws and the Wolff-Metternich arms with wolf and tournament collar carved on it. On the narrow sides are the count's intertwined monogram and the arms of the Teutonic Order; the centre shows the Lamb of God, the top probably a lark.

The cross stands accessible along forest paths in Kottenforst and is easily reached on foot by visitors exploring the area. Nearby seating allows travelers to rest and enjoy the surrounding woodland environment.

The cross is also called Jakobskreuz, after a wooden predecessor dedicated to the Apostle James. The present stone cross was donated by Count Franz Joseph Wolff-Metternich zu Gracht (1706–1781), a privy councillor to Elector Clemens August; four wolf paws and the family arms with wolf and tournament collar gave it the name Wolfskreuz.
