The Siebengebirge is peppered with small monuments like this one. The view whets the appetite for the summit. If you come from the top you can pass quickly here.

Justice Councilor Humbroich was a significant figure in the history of nature conservation in the Siebengebirge. In the 1880s, he actively campaigned against the destruction caused by a large quarry on the Rhine side of the Petersberg. His commitment contributed significantly to preserving the Siebengebirge as a nature reserve.

Today, the Siebengebirge is a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers. There are even places and hiking trails named after him, such as Humbroich Square.
