history

In 1668, an inspection report from the Electoral Cologne Regalia and Mines named the Dörnberg mine among other things. The miners' colony was first mentioned in a document in 1759. In 1759, three families of miners lived at the Dörnberg mine, which belongs to Andreasberg.

In the same year, Elector Clemens August I of Bavaria had the Ramsbeck silver minted from the Ramsbeck silver exploit thaler on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Bergordnung. The Dörnberg and Bastenberg were depicted on the back of the exploitation thalers. In 1811 the Ramsbeck union bought the lead mine “Dörnberg”. Until 1910, the village of Dörnberg belonged politically to the municipality of Heringhausen and then to the municipality of Ramsbeck . Since January 1st, 1975 Dörnberg has been part of Bestwig.
