Bütgenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Bütgenbach dam was built between 1929 and 1932. The main function of the dam is to regulate the course of the Warche river. This created the lake of Bütgenbach. It is a starting point for beautiful, popular hiking routes: for example, a 10-kilometer walk can be made around the lake.

Bütgenbach Dam

Highlight • Monument

There are many dam walls, there are higher, wider, more powerful ones than this one. This is not a superlative, but still unique. Rarely do you get so much insight into the technology and architecture of a dam.

St. Anna Church, Wirtzfeld

Highlight • Religious Site

The building, which is now a late Gothic building, was probably built in the 16th century. At this point there was a previous building that was attached to the older tower. In the 18th century, the Gothic pointed arch windows were converted to round arches, in keeping with the taste of the time.

Route of Commemoration, info point 18

Highlight • Monument

"May God help you to understand what it means to fight here and near. To understand how deep and how wide the pain is, you must also understand the difference between those who suffered and those who are far away to watch the suffering, to be understood."

St. John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Religious Site

After the large neo-Gothic church from 1907 was completely destroyed in the fierce battles at the front in 1944-45, a new church was built in 1953. Looking at the parish church from the outside, one immediately recognizes the influence of Italian architecture: first of all there is the campanile, the free-standing bell tower, and the many small arched windows of the facade and the tower, as well as at the main entrance the large arcades with the small arcades above (a construction that reminds us of the ancient structures of the Roman aqueducts).

Mirfeld Mother of God Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Very beautiful and lovingly maintained chapel of the Mother of God. This pretty chapel of the Mother of God was built in 1999 on the initiative of some Mirfeld citizens. In the immediate vicinity is a bluestone cross commemorating Nicolaus Krings, who tragically died here 80 years before the chapel was built. After returning home from the First World War as the only son of the family, he had an accident with a team of oxen and was run over by the fully loaded wagon. Source: information board on site
