In 1147, the ministerial Rudolphus and his wife Emertrudis donated the allod Hoenbusc to the Marienstift Aachen. In 1226, Emperor Frederick II confirmed the foundation's ownership of Hoimbuch. In 1302, the Order of the Holy Cross founded a monastery in Hohenbusch. The clergy of the order were later called Knights of the Cross. In 1305, the dean and chapter of the Aachen foundation transferred Hohenbusch to the order in return for an annual interest of 4 Aachen guilders. In 1560, eight priests and eight lay people lived in the monastery.

This is a really worthwhile detour, and not just on a bike tour!
Next to the beautifully renovated buildings you will find an excellent cafe-restaurant with delicious food at reasonable prices and courteous service!
