During the occupation of the Rhineland between 1918 and 1926, Belgian occupation troops stationed in the Rheinkamp area maintained a shooting range with barracks at Bernshof on the Bernsberg. This rampart and ditch were documented earlier in the Prussian map of 1891/1912, but are considerably older. The rampart ditch runs along the border of the former mayoralties of Baerl and Repelen and extends from the railway embankment west of this spot along the south side of Bernsberg (a glacial crescent dune) to Bernshof, which today houses an equestrian center. It seems likely that the border fortifications were built before 1700. The rampart and ditch, now hidden beneath foliage and vegetation, remind us how beautiful it is to live together peacefully without borders.
