The Iron Cross from 1841 in the field has a sad history, which was clarified by Jozef Tihányi. The cross is located in the locality, which the chronicler described as Nad Cerinou in Mraznice, and the pastor marked it Pod Vápenným (Pod Wapenom) in the modern register of the dead. The cross was erected over the grave of 36-year-old Pavel Hubert, the chief miner at the Červenokamenský estate.

The manor was at that time run by Countess Antónia, born Kolowrat-Krakowská, widow of Rudolf Pálffy. Pavel Hubert was born in Gajary in the lower aristocratic family of the administrator of the Malacky Pálffy family. When he got the mentioned job at Červený Kamen, he got married to his widow Cecilia, a family. Seth. It can be assumed that he suffered from mental problems that led to his unfortunate death (probably suicide) at a relatively young age.

On the pedestal of the cross was a sign with the inscription Graf Rudolf Pálffyscher Oberjäger Paul Hubert gestures. 1844. 20. III., Which was recorded in this form by a chronicler in 1933. In the second half of the 20th century, the plaque was lost and the massive beech standing next to it, which damaged the original iron cross, was also refuted. In its place, a spare cast iron cross was to be installed shortly after this time. The chronicler recorded the year 1844 probably by mistake, probably only due to the difficulty of reading the table on the cross. Pavel Hubert's death on March 20 is recorded in the parish register of the dead from 1841. The pastor did not record the direct cause of death due to discretion in the register, he wrote about Paul that he did not return home only from melancholy, confusion of the mind or unknown reason.

The place with the cross was known as Hubert's tomb. Nevertheless, and the record in the register and in the chronicle created a legend, according to which furman was buried here. He, on his deathbed, expressed a desire to dig his grave where he would stop a ox-cart with his chest.
