The stone pyramid above Auendorf was built as a memorial to Albert Leo Schlageter. In the 1920s, during the "Ruhr Battle", this terrorist attacked French occupying forces. Schlageter was caught, sentenced to death by a French court-martial and shot dead. The National Socialists celebrated Schlageter as champion and martyr. In mid-May 1933, just after the "seizure of power", the Auendorfer local council agreed to the request of the local NSDAP to erect a monument for Schlageter. It was executed in pyramidal form approximately six meters high of natural stones.
