At the edge of the forest where the road, Hoppenhardter Weg, splits in three. Commemorative Object

Set up in 1955, the pieta is called "Madonna" by the residents of Kleinhau.  The pieta is an original piece dating back to the twelfth century and carved of stone that Mrs. Sandmann had bought in Florence.  She set up the wayside shrine for her fallen son Wolfgang and for all the soldiers on both sides of the war who had been killed in her forests.  Mr. von Waldow, Sandmann's grandson has placed a memorial plaque to honor those soldiers who fell in the Battle of the Hurtgen (Huertgen) Forest in 1944.
