"Cross-tugs" are depictions of Christ carrying the cross. The special form of the wayside shrine, which emerged in the 18th century, is particularly widespread in Franconia and characterizes the landscape in the bishoprics of Bamberg and Würzburg in particular.

The depiction of the cross-carrying Christ in the form of a free figure is referred to as a cross dragger. The special form of the wayside shrine, which emerged in the 18th century, is particularly widespread in Franconia and shapes the landscape, especially in the Catholic dioceses of Bamberg and Würzburg.
