    The image shows a commemorative plaque for the Heimbach pilgrimage, which particularly highlights the connection between Heimbach and Lohn.

    Heimbach:
    A well-known pilgrimage site in the Eifel region, known for its pilgrimage to Our Lady of Sorrows.


    1633:
    This year marks the beginning of a pilgrimage by a group from Lohn to Heimbach, which continues to this day.


    Pilgrim-Lohn:
    Refers to the pilgrims from the town of Lohn, who were relocated to Eschweiler Neu-Lohn due to open-cast lignite mining.


    Depiction:
    The plaque shows a Pietà-like depiction, which refers to the veneration of Our Lady of Sorrows in Heimbach.
    Translated by
    The memorial stone of the Heimbach pilgrims stands at the height of the Schlich sports field in the forest.
