The Aachener Landgraben is the name for the fortification along the almost 70 km long border of the former Aachen Empire. Individual sections can already be documented for the 14th and 15th centuries, but it was not until the beginning of the 17th century that the construction of the Landwehr was completed throughout and on 11 April 1611 by Albrecht VII of Habsburg, the acting regent of the Spanish Netherlands in Brussels, contractually legitimised with the aldermen and the city council in Aachen.

The Marienkapelle is a chapel dedicated to the Mother of God Mary in Aachen-Burtscheid. It stands on the corner of Gregorstraße and Berdoletstraße and was built in 1643/44 at the instigation of the acting abbess of the imperial abbey of Burtscheid, Henrietta Raitz von Frenz, and the monk Peter Kerchof in honour of the "Madonna of Scherpenheuvel". The most important part of the chapel is the newly made miraculous image of Mary, the depiction of which corresponds to the original in the baroque pilgrimage church dedicated to Our Lady in the Belgian pilgrimage town of Scherpenheuvel-Zichem. The formerly used French term Montaigu for Scherpenheuvel is derived from Latin mons acutus = pointed mountain or sharp hill. In the vernacular, this led to the name Klein Scherpenhövel or simply chapel for the Burtscheid Marienkapelle.
