By the 20th century, a hermitage (13th century) on the old pilgrimage route between Aachen and Trier had become a small settlement of 3 farms and 6 families, the Reinartzhof. Located in the middle of the lonely Venn, the settlement was largely self-sufficient, without electricity or tap water.

The Reinartzhof was later built from the St. Reinart hospice, which was formerly located on the Reinart.
However, the evacuation of the Reinartzhof was announced by royal decree on June 26, 1958.
Reason:
As the Reinartzhof settlement is in the catchment area of the Weser dam and there is therefore a risk of water pollution, it is expropriated and must be evacuated. Within three years, i.e. by 1961, the residents were to leave their farms. With heavy hearts, the farming families moved out of the isolated hamlet one after the other. "Be that as it may, the mild pressure from above, supported by appropriate compensation payments, caused one farmer after another to emigrate and find a new home and work somewhere at the foot of the High Fens." In 1971, even the picturesque Oberhof was set on fire, and what had been spared by the fire was reduced to rubble by pickaxes and bulldozers.

A place that makes you think. The history of the Reinhardtshöfe is beautifully described on display boards. A hut invites you to rest. If you look at the fallow land, you can still see the floor plans of the buildings.
