Memorial Europamonument 3-country point

In the southern foothills of the municipality of Burg-Reuland, one kilometer below the village of Ouren, hikers can find the European monument at the confluence of the Ribbach and the Our. This tripoint marks the intersection of Germany, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and Belgium. The border runs along the Our and the Ribbach.

In 1967, an initiative was taken by Georg Wagner, chairman of the Eifel and Ardennen Association, member of parliament and president of the Chamber in Luxembourg, to establish a EUROPAMONUMENT at this tripoint.

In 1972, the notarial deed for the purchase of the land by the municipalities of Arzfeld (Germany), Heinerscheid (Luxembourg), and Burg Reuland was executed.

In a small park, five impressive megaliths were erected as a symbol for the countries that were part of the European Community at that time.

The monument was inaugurated on October 22, 1977.

Four stones from the united countries come from:

FRANCE - GERMANY - the GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG and BELGIUM
