In 925 the powerful of the Duchy of Lorraine, which stretched from the North Sea along the Rhine to the Alps, recognized the rule of King Henry I instead of that of the King of West Franconia. A thousand years later, the Rhineland and with it the city of Elberfeld, aware of the difficult situation in Germany after the First World War (occupation of the Ruhr in 1923, occupation of the left bank of the Rhine 1918–1926), celebrated the anniversary of the Rhineland's membership of the German Empire. It is of course doubtful that contemporaries saw the union of the Saxons, Franks, Swabians, Bavaria and the Lorraine under one king as the birth of the German Empire. But the erection of this monument and the three-day celebrations were mainly influenced by the present of 1925.

The inscription on the boulder reads:
“Grove of Honor
Donated by the Elberfeld Youth
in memory of the millennial
Belonging to the Rhineland
to the German Empire
on May 23, 1925 ”
On the right side of the boulder, the oath of loyalty from Schiller's Wilhelm Tell has been driven into the stone:
“We want to be
one only
People of brothers,
in no need
separate us
and danger! "

On the trail there is a place with a stone on which a dedication is engraved, and benches complement this place.
