The center of the old procession route was lost due to the construction of a fortress (1876) and a motorway junction (1974). But most of the stations have recently been rebuilt. Now the path leads over two bridges over the autobahn t1p.de/55gon. Great mix of medieval and modern - and still in the countryside.

This wayside shrine was donated by the Merheim Brotherhood in honor of the Sorrowful Mother of God and formed the first of seven footfall stations between Herl and Merheim. Unfortunately, apart from this one and one at St. Gereon, they are no longer preserved. The trail to the footfall station began at the Johann Nepomuk chapel and ended at the Sankt Gereon church in Merheim.
