The Janus head was conceived and executed by Jan Lavrijsen. Commissioned by the Reusel Historical Society, Ellen van Kroonenburg created the sculpture. The monument aims to express this division in the form of a Janus head. A Janus head is an ancient symbol for contrasts and transitions. Historical link: the monument alludes to the division of Reusel and Postel in 1648, which was established by the Peace of Münster. More information and a map are available on-site.

At this location, you stand high on a ridge that serves as a watershed between north and south. This low ridge is a northwestern extension of the Kempen Plateau in Belgian Limburg. The northern part of the municipality of Reusel drains into the Meuse River via the Reusel and Dommel rivers. A smaller southern part discharges its surface water via the Goorloop, De Wamp, Nete, and Scheldt rivers in Belgium. More information is available on-site at the "ZIJ - Hij" (She - He) monument.

The eight boulders symbolize the eight villages of the Eight Beatitudes: Eersel, Duizel (formerly Duijsel), Hulsel, Knegsel, Netersel, Reusel, Steensel, and Wintelre (Wintersel). The natural stones are precisely sized and aligned with the compass point, so that they represent the villages as accurately as possible. Each village has been assigned its own Beatitude, just as Jesus of Nazareth also speaks in the Sermon on the Mount about eight Beatitudes or Beatitudes for salvation. Nowadays, we describe the term "blessed" as the Bible intends it more as "happy." 1. Wintelre: The poor in spirit. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 2. Eersel: The meek. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit it long. 3. Duizel: The mourner. Blessed are those who weep, for they will be comforted. 4. Hulsel: The hungry for righteousness. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 5. Reusel: The merciful. Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy. 6. Steensel: The pure in heart. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 7. Knegsel: The peaceful. Blessed are the peaceful, for they will be called children of God. 8. Netersel: The persecuted. Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. More information can be found on the site.
