    In Roman times, the border between the administrative units of Cologne (Civitas Coloniensis) and Tongeren (Civitas Tungriensis) ran, among other things, from the Weser up the Hill to its source.
    Since 1816 a national border has crossed the high plateau of the High Fens, initially between the Netherlands and Prussia
    Boundary stone 157 is the last in the series of Belgian-Prussian boundary stones, because from here the Hill is so wide that its course forms a clear boundary line.

      Unfortunately, the boundary stone number is partially covered by the metal reinforcements.

        The border between Belgium and Prussia has passed here since 1830 and between Belgium and Germany since 1870. This border ran from Eupen in the north up the Hill to the source of the Hill, from there to Baraque Michel and along a New Vequée to just before Hockai.
