The Commune (Gemeente) of burg-Reuland does border on Germany, so perhaps they meant commune and not the town itself, which is well west of the boundary.
According to my Belgian maps (100k, 50k and 25k topographics), the border leaves the Our at pillar149 and heads almost south, while the Our turns SSE. As the pillar numbering goes northwards, pillar 74 would be well south of Berg Reuland town.
