The residence of the sculptor Leonard Mennicken is situated in the district Am Plei. He lived in Raeren from 1874 until his death in 1969, and was known above all for his works of sacred art, which adorn numerous churches in the Rhineland and Eifel. The Raeren village square in the district of Driesch features the war memorial in honour of the dead of the First World War, which was also created by Mennicken. Elaborate sculptures by Mennicken can be seen on the facade and door of his former residence at Hochstrasse 25.
