The memorial stone commemorates the first settlers from Raffelsbrand, who found their home here after the devastating Second World War and the battle in the Hürtgenwald in 1952.

Areas created from raised moorland, refugees from WW2, East Prussia and farmers from Vossenack were settled here to build farms. This happened in the early 1950s.
