In 1104, a young priest by the name of Ailbertus of Antoing founded an Augustinian abbey in the Land of Rode, near the river Wurm. The abbey was called Kloosterrade, which later became 's-Hertogenrade (in French: Rode-le-Duc or Rolduc).
He got the ground from Adalbert von Saffenberg as a gift.
In 1973 the commemorative table was appropriated by the abbey Rolduc in the walls of the ruin of the family castle of Adalbert von Saffenberg.
