Buchholz was a district of Bedburg in the Rhein-Erft district in North Rhine-Westphalia . The village was relocated to Bedburg-West together with a few other smaller villages in 1982 to make way for the Fortuna-Garsdorf opencast mine and then dredged.

Buchholz was the location of the St. Antonius Chapel, which was also built at the resettlement site in Bedburg-West. For a long time there was also a single-class village school in the village, where Jakob Heinen, the father of the priest and adult educator Anton Heinen , after whom many schools are named today, went to school.

In Morken-Harff (new) near Kaster, a total of 5 resettlers from Belmen, Winkelheim and Buchholz were counted.

Today the Antonius chapel, a memorial plaque and Buchholzerstraße are reminiscent of the new location. At last 83 people were counted in the old village. The village originally had 349 inhabitants until the resettlement.
