At the end of May 1992, the fountain at the Pferdemarkt (horse market) was inaugurated on the occasion of the Old Town Festival in the brewery town of Bitburg. The bronze sculpture by Bitburg sculptor Roger Delleré is a figurative interpretation of the horse trade. It recalls the times when regularly held horse and cattle markets were still part of everyday life in the town and made a significant contribution to its economic prosperity. The work of art depicts two Bitburg natives, Klaus Schilling and Fritz Jäschke, as buyer and dealer in a horse trade, shaking hands.

The Neuerburgertunnel was part of the Pronsfeld-Neuerburg railway line, also known as the Enztalbahn, a branch line in the Eifel that ran from Pronsfeld station on the Westeifelbahn to Neuerburg. The route initially led uphill from Pronsfeld before following the River Enz from Arzfeld to Neuerburg. The railway opened on July 6, 1907, along with the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. During World War II, the routes were severely damaged and traffic did not resume until October 17, 1949. Passenger service on the branch line was discontinued on June 1, 1969, and freight service ceased on May 18, 1989. Today, the former route is used as part of the Enztal cycle path. The Neuerburg-Zweifelscheid cycle path was opened in 2002 and the Zweifelscheid-Arzfeld section in 2005. The rest of the route was extended to Lünebach in 2007 and connected to the cycle path on the Pronsfeld-Waxweiler route. Since the autumn of 2011, the cycle path has been completely asphalted.
