The memorial commemorates the flood disaster of July 14, 2021, when at least 135 people lost their lives in the Ahr Valley. The Dorsel campsite at the time was the first place in the Ahr Valley to be severely affected by the flood.

34 steles along the Ahr are intended to commemorate the flood disaster in July 2021; one such stele can be found on the Ahr cycle path.
