The bobbin war in 1798 was planned as a liberation war for the West Eifel population against the French occupiers. At the parish church in Arzfeld there is a clapper war memorial erected by the Eifelverein in 1908.
The Mariensäule was built in 1886 in honour of the Mother of God. An internal spiral staircase leads to a viewing platform. The seven stations of the „Kreuzweg“ also end at the Mariensäule.
The "Ehrenfriedhof" in Bitburg is a commemorative cemetery for soldiers who died in both World Wars. The cemetery attracted world-wide attention in 1985 causing a great deal of controversy from the Jewish communities as well as the Veterans of WWII. The President of United States, Ronald Reagan and West German chancellor Helmut Kohl were to visit Kolmeshoehe to lay a wreath on a tombstone.
