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.
