Inscription:
"Ave Maria, that is what was written on the little bell that showed travelers the way here in night and fog. Ave Maria, that is what the many pilgrims prayed who found hospitality here in the High Middle Ages from 1100 to 1400 on their way from Aachen or Trier. Ave Maria, that is how the hiker today greets our dear Lady of Reinartz."

This memorial stone at the abandoned village of Reinartzhof commemorates the tradition of giving pilgrims and travelers orientation on the long and dangerous routes through the High Fens by ringing a bell.
The Reinartzhof, now a ruin, used to be an important stop at a crossroads in the solitude of the High Fens, southwest of Roetgen.

The angel's greeting to the Mother of God begins with the words "Ave Maria, gratia plena" ("Hail Mary, full of grace") when he brings the heavenly message to Mary, who lives in Nazareth and is engaged to Joseph: namely, that she is to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The text, based on the Gospel of Luke, has become a widespread prayer that believers like to address to the Mother of God to invoke her intercession or to express their thanks.
