Built from 1837 by the Kingdom of Prussia. It is located exactly on the border of the former Prussian territory "Kreis Eupen" (now the municipality of Eupen) and the municipality of Baelen. This stone is the first after leaving the border in the middle of River Hill. With the Versailles Treaty of 1920, the border line lost its raison d'être. The stones with the numbers 158 to 193 have two different shapes:
Square with a height of 80 cm;
Octagonal with a height of 125 cm.
