    At the end of Saeffelen there is a life-size bronze statue of "Hastenraths Will" in honor of the late author and cabaret artist Christian Macharski.

      The comedian and author, known in the region, died completely unexpectedly at the age of 51. The artist, who was born in Wegberg, had been working as a cabaret artist since 1991 and was known in Selfkant and the Aachen region, especially in carnival with the fictional character “Hastenraths Will”. His outfit as a self-employed farmer with rubber boots, a parka and thick glasses were his trademark.
