      Pilgrim sign of the St. Matthias Brotherhood Rheindahlen from 1892.

      Everywhere on the Lower Rhine, on the Middle Rhine, but especially in the Eifel, you can find around 200 of these pilgrim symbols from the St. Matthias brotherhoods. They can be stelae, crosses, wayside shrines, stones or small chapels. The brotherhoods set them up on their way to St. Matthias in Trier. Some pilgrim signs are several hundred years old. The main pilgrimage season is the time between Ascension Day and Pentecost every year, when the brotherhoods travel with thousands of pilgrims on foot. They usually use ancient pilgrimage roads, some of which are Roman roads.
