The plaque pictured describes the "Joseph Bell," the largest of the four steel bells from the parish church of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception. The bell has a diameter of 1.35 meters. It weighs 960 kg. The inscription refers to the parish church of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, located in Pier.

During the Inden opencast mine, Lake Lucherberg was located near the mining area and was drained starting in 2021.[1] On October 1, 2021, the lake was closed to sailing,[2] and preparations were made for its drainage from that date. The decline in water levels was clearly visible since January 2022. In spring 2024, the water level had dropped so much that the fish stocks had to be salvaged, and shortly thereafter, the lake was completely drained.
