The monument is located near Ludgeristraße in Billerbeck (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). It consists of several boulders stacked on top of each other.

In 1934, the group of boulders, which had already been present at this place, was inaugurated as a monument dedicated to Albert Leo Schlageter, who was revered by the Nazis as a kind of early martyr.
After the war, the Schlageter inscription, which was localized on the big lower stone, was removed. In 1953 the monument was rededicated as a memorial for prisoner of war. Because 30,000 German soldiers were still prisoner of war in the Soviet Union, a new inscription was placed on the stone, which read: Let our prisoner of war free (original: Lasst unsere Kriegsgefangenen frei). This inscription was removed when the last prisoners returned home in 1955/56.
