In August 1981 a swastika about 2 meters in size, carved into the rock, was removed from the neighboring forest through the use of the technical relief organization . Dögerode became known in the 20th century through a branch of the Rheinische Kunststoffwerke and its production site in Kalefeld / Echte , located on the site of a former ore mine. What is impressive about it is the former loading bunker, which can be seen from afar and is over 30 meters high.
