The municipality of Landgraaf owes its name to "de landgraaf", an age-old line of defense that can still be seen as a hollow road in the landscape at a number of points. Coming from the Brunsummerheide, the earthenware extends in the direction of Nieuwenhagen, where it disappears close to the Kleikoeleweg. The Landgrave used to run from here all the way to the marshes northeast of Schinveld. Now he lives on the spot only in the street name "Oude Landgraaf". In the past, a very high age was sometimes attributed to the landgrave.

The earthworks would have served as a prehistoric defense line or as a rampart for the nearby Iron Age urn fields. However, recent archaeological research has shown that the landgrave most likely dates from the second half of the 14th century. At that time, the landgrave was located on the edge of the Land van Valkenburg. When Jan van Valkenburg died without a successor in 1352, this important territory fell into the hands of the Duke of Brabant. He likely built the landgrave to protect against aggression from his arch-enemies, the Dukes of Guelders and Jülich.

Thanks to archaeological research, we know that during its functional years, the landgrave consisted of a pointed ditch, with an average depth of 2.2 meters and a width of 6.4 meters. Ramparts were built on either side of the ditch using the displaced earth, resulting in a total width of approximately 20 to 22 meters. On top of the ramparts, impenetrable hedges of thorny shrubs have been planted and interwoven. Attempts to penetrate them may be discouraged by tripping holes and other obstacles.

On higher ground, watchtowers stand, providing a view of the entire surrounding area. This allows the alarm to be raised in time by means of fire signals. The Lichtenberg neighborhood, situated on a hill, may still owe its name to such a tower. This system allows local rulers to mobilize their troops in time to combat attackers. For the local population, the landgraaf also serves as an ideal cattle barrier and protection against roving bands of robbers and predators.

In later centuries, the landgraaf lost its function. Nature was given free rein, the ramparts eroded, and the ditch filled in. The landgraaf is now used as a sunken road, and people forget who built it and when. Frans Erens (1857-1935), the well-known man of letters from Schaesberg, recounts that in his youth, people still believed that Napoleon had dug the landgraaf. Erens enjoyed being rolled down the slopes. He deeply regretted that landowners later leveled large parts of the landgraaf.

Over the course of the 20th century, even more sections of the landgraaf disappeared due to mining, sand quarrying, and housing development. Yet, the landgraaf was not forgotten. On December 14, 1980, the cooperating SUN municipalities of Schaesberg, Ubach over Worms, and Nieuwenhagen even decided to name the newly established municipality of Landgraaf after the earthwork. Thus, a centuries-old symbol of border demarcation has become a symbol of unity and connection.
