The dark, heavy cross with the body of the crucified Christ standing out brightly against the beams – it is therefore a crucifix – whose origin, according to the inscription, dates back to the second half of the 18th century, impressively dominates the facade of the original chapel of the former village, which has been rebuilt here.

Only a cross remains to mark the former cemetery where generations of people found their (supposed) final resting place. But the cemetery, like the entire village, had to make way for the open-cast lignite mine.

Adolph Kolping, mentioned here, was born in Kerpen in 1813. He initially trained as a shoemaker, but later became a priest and is known by the honorary title "Father of Journeymen." This is because he dedicated his priestly life and work primarily to these people. The Kolping Society, which is active internationally today, traces its origins back to his initiative. He died in 1865 and was beatified in 1991.
