history

Restaurant with a name referring to the ore mine

Roman mines and processing plants were probably located near Diepenlinchen. Around the middle of the 19th century, mining in the Diepenlinchen ore mine reached industrial dimensions, and Diepenlinchen became the main employer of the Mausbach and Gressenich populations. Due to the depth of the mines, primary ores were increasingly extracted during this time.

On October 1, 1932, after the dissolution of the communities of Nothberg and Hastenrath in the Düren district, the village of Werth and the groups of houses Weißenberg, Diepenlinchen and Burgholz in the so-called " Hastenrather Zipfel " came to the community of Gressenich.

In 1965 cases of Gressenich disease from Stolberg-Binsfeldhammer as well as Gressenich and Diepenlinchen became officially known.

With the incorporation of Gressenich on January 1, 1972, Diepenlinchen came to Stolberg.
