Highlight • Historical Site
Peace Church: The Peace Church in Eupen, Liège Province, Belgium, is a church building of the Protestant parish of Eupen-Neu-Moresnet in the United Protestant Church of Belgium. It was built in the neo-Gothic style between 1851 and 1854 according to plans by the architect and Prussian building official Theodor August Stein and was inaugurated on December 5, 1855. The Peace Church, its pulpit as well as the fencing and 22 historical gravestones were placed under monument protection in 1987. In addition, in 1996, the pneumatic organ, built in 1907 in the workshop of master organ builder Eberhard Friedrich Walcker, was also placed under protection as the first of its kind in Belgium.

Haus Klötzerbahn 27: Haus Klötzerbahn 27 is a former community center in Eupen in the German-speaking community of East Belgium. It was built in 1757 in the Baroque style and was declared a listed building in 1985. Until 2020, the building housed the peace court of the judicial canton of Eupen and the labor court of the judicial district of Eupen. This property was then sold to the German-speaking Community, which structurally and functionally connected it to the adjacent building complex of the Ministry of the German-speaking Community.
The construction of the Klötzerbahn 27 community center in 1757 is attributed to the cloth manufacturer Renier François Grand Ry (1716–1777), whose family had other sophisticated townhouses built in Eupen. Source and further information: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haus_Kl%C3%B6tzerbahn_27
Haus GrandRy, Klöterbahn 32: The Haus Grand Ry, also known as the Alte Post, is a former cloth maker's house at Klötzerbahn 32. The building was built between 1761 and 1763 by Nikolaus Joseph von Grand Ry according to plans by Johann Joseph Couven Owned by his family until 1893, before the Imperial Post Office moved there. The house served as a post office until 1978, before it became the seat of government for the German-speaking community in 1984 after extensive restoration work lasting several years.
The building has been listed as a cultural monument since February 14, 1968.

Meaning of the name Klötzerbahn: (Source GE from April 25, 2015)
Hardly any other street in Eupen has changed its appearance as often as the Klötzerbahn.
“Op de Clotser Bame” was mentioned as early as 1581, a location on the nameless “Back” in Eupen. The question immediately arises: What does this place name mean? As the local history researcher Leo Hermanns explained 20 years ago, “Bame” goes back to Southern Dutch, to which the Eupen dialect is related. In dialect, “boom” is known to mean ground. The Limburgian “Klot” or “Clot” means peat, and in a broader sense also mud. According to forestry engineer Michel Letocard, the area of today's Klötzerbahn could have consisted of peat soil (morass), which could be explained by frequent flooding from the Favrun and Stadtbach streams.
Because of the unstable ground, the first settlers probably built their houses outside the unsafe zone, so that the middle of the “Clotser Bame” was kept wide open and always formed a large square
